Usually you only want a real narrow DOF when you take a picture of something relatively flat and want the background VERY blurred to emphasize the subject... Like a portrait. Usually if you are trying to shoot a bug... You want it to fill the frame.... Then you are going to try to get all the DOF possible... Like f16 or more. Set up a bottle of something and shoot it from a foot... Very near focus. Try a shot at f1.8, f8 and f16... You may need your flash for the last. You'll see a very narrow line of focus at F1.8.
