He seems like he's clinging on for dear life... In that sense I like the way the blade of grass masks out his head - allows me to imagine a strained expression on his little insect face.

The bug is trying to hide. I like the background being so out of focus it becomes an abstract canves for the main subject.

Again I feel it would have been nuch better from the other side, so as to see the insect more clearly... I do like the simplicity of the image.
