Nice capture of a very painful looking stunt.
Hi Vaez I think the image would look better if it was a close up shot . Have you tried a tighter crop to put the emphasis more on the critter?
Hello, Vaez. Beautiful scene. Poor caterpillar!
Try applying more sharpening to this and check if it works for you.
Cheers,
Vaez -- I think I will put +1 on John's comment (#2)...
I would go with the colored version. The colors are a big part of the image for me, as the bug is almost camouflaged in it.
what is it
It appears very clearly to be a caterpillar struggling to get from one leaf to another.
Hi Vaez
Well captured, we can't always get them spot on sharp but often recording the action as you have done compensates for not achieving the technically perfect image
Here is one option Vaez that you could consider. Ideally I would have preferred to see him slightly higher or lower in the frame but that would have meant cropping too much and reducing his sharpness even more.
I undertook a global sharpening and then some local contrast enhancement to the caterpillar only. I'm sure you could achieve more with the original file. The highlights could be lowered but do not bother me at all.

I can see this being made into one of those motivational posters
Cool shot Vaez, I do prefer Grahame's edit.
Did the caterpillar survive?
