You got this one just right. What makes the image isn't whether the insect is in focus front to back, but the reflections in the water. You don't want to shoot any slower or bump up the ISO too much, so F11 was a reasonable compromise. Maybe one stop smaller and half the shutter speed. But hard to do better than this with a single shot.

Great shot.

Now squash it quick before it bites someone.
