Cool,Mary!
This one's another interesting illustration of an aspect of 'Springtime on the Great Southern Continent' that I'm happy to view,my friend!
While I'm not all that 'head over heels' about the blurry areas of the photo that's not something that I'm about to detract any points over!
The bright & eye catching coloration and the pleasing 'Unusual Subject' factor make this picture an Excellent one as far as I'm concerned! : )
'Good Show',my friend!

Comment from Dick Lee Shia
Excellent subject.
Unique capture of the caterpillar burying its head in ecstatic activity!
Sorry, but 93% of the image is out of focus--hazy overtone!
Too wide f/stop that we cannot appreciate fully even the details of the title subject!
Vibrant bloom but still a blur.
Subtle illumination.
Compact framing.
Narrow DOF.
Thanks!

Thanks Dick must agree to disagree on this one as the caterpillar is well focused according to Olga and have no issue other than white balance was off causing slight yellow haze ☺

Sorry, but it's really blurry in my iPad even in the thumbnail!
Yes with a yellow haze...

Comment from Life is but a dream.
WOW you really caught the focus dead on that caterpillar, great!

There seems to be a yellow cast on this image, the yellow is a bit muddied so your light calibration may have been off (tungsten lighting?...neon?...fluorescent?)

Like the crop and it is an eye catching image.
