I often use my 100-400 for insect photography and out of interest tried my 180-600 the other day. The light wasn't great but the result looks OK. The relatively long MFD compared with 100-400 means that I will probably stick with the former much of the time.

To me, it appears a very nice image, especially considering the lens used.

EDIT: (considering the lens used) I do not want to suggest the lens is a poor lens, but that it is not intended to be macro. I too enjoy this lens, splendid.

It appears that there is subject motion blur from your relatively slow shutter speed. The greater the image magnification the easier it is to spot motion blur.

I disagree. The blur that is there (minimal though it is on the original file rather than a jpeg further compromised by web viewing) is on the areas that are slightly outside the focus plane rather than due to motion - the tips of the attennae are not blurred and they are subject to more movement. I'm not sure that in most circumstances it detracts from the image.
I remain happy with the image given that it was taken with a lens I took mainly to capture our local kestrels in flight used at the opposite extreme.
