For insects I think getting the eye and head in the picture is essential and for the eye to be sharp. For this kind of angle I also aim to get my sensor parallel to the wing surface so that the whole of the wing is within the shallow band of focus, the fact that the other wing is out of focus isn’t really a problem.
