Default Lenox with moth

Greeting DPS
While trying to set up for some humming bird shots off my porch I noticed some spots on the vase. Returning with a something to clean with I found this little moth.

Lenox with moth

I had little time to shoot before he left. I now know to clean props before setting up, set camera to continuous shooting, keep the camera level, the lens may not be the best for this job but it is the best I got (love it) and always be on the ready!
Is the focus on the moth too soft? What would have been the best way to focus this shot? Would a larger DoF helped with the focus of the vase and the moth? Is it just camera skill?
Thanks Tony
