Yes, it rather does like an insect hotel in that shot! Your interesting image benefits from being well composed, sharp with good exposure. Nicely done!

A beautiful infested flower with so many tiny black bugs! A real haven of sorts for these tiny insects. I love the bright yellow bloom and the soft muted background in this shot. Wonderful immediate impact and beautifully framed and presented.

Excellent initial impact. The contrast between the yellow flower and dark background is striking. The small details draw the viewer into the photo. Excellent focus and depth of field. Cropping and framing are also well done.

Wow! You really captured the entire colony of black bugs. They do not seem to be harming the flower or the buds. The bright yellow of the flower is pleasing against the light and dark greens of the background. I am surprised that a bird has not discovered this feast just waiting to be picked off.
