With this image, you might be surprised at this suggestion but forget the bug. The left half of the frame with the subtle tones and textures is far more interesting as a muted abstract. Just my thoughts... (and I know the site managers want to encourage suggestions not just praise on these comments)

Thouhts and comments welcome.

warm regards,

My first thought was almost the same as BM's, that with the nice soft green rythm, this is a fine pic even if there's no bug.  Not that I would take out the bug, and I especially wouldn't take out the white thing that it's climbing on, which anchors the pic.  The bug actually does contribute to the pic; but it isn't necessary to make it a good pic.  And it's a good thing the bug isn't big enough to turn this nice nature shot into a [shudder] bug pic.

 

Your friendly, neighborhood contrarian reporting in..

So, I LIKE the bug (technically a beetle, not a bug, but...). 

The whole thing works together for me.  Nice work.
