This moth caterpillar has a voracious appetite, demolishing the entire flower and getting ready to move on to the next bloom.

Comp, light, colors are all lovely and can be appreciated by all. For a photographer, however, my first impression was "Wow, how did he get the caterpillar AND the flower in focus at the same time?" Great job lining them up so you could keep the aperture at f/4 for the perfect background.

The beauty and genius of a work of art may be reconceived, though its first material expression be destroyed; a vanished harmony may yet again inspire the composer; but when the last individual of a race of living beings breathes no more, another heaven and another earth must pass before such a one can be again. William Beebe, 1906

Wonderful composition with the flower in the background, that caterpillar has quite an appetite, well seen and well done.
