Tried using the 8.5 fps on the 1d and it caught this out of a quick burst, iso 800, no flash

Very nice, was it moving or hovering at the time? If it's a pan I'm really impressed.

What a capture, that's great. How far away from the subject are you?

Quite possibly it could, depending on how responsive the lens being used is. I've never considered trying AF on flying insects. Come spring and the Bees arriving out onto the Japanese Maple tree out back, I'm gonna try it and I'll let you know. Of course, I have a 1D, not a Mark II, which does have slightly bettter AF.

Nicely captured shot, very impressive.
