If I can nitpick, I think a bit of noise reduction on that background could crank this up a notch.

Good effort.. two things that bug me (heh heh) though: the noise/grain is quite noticeable, and there is some motion blur with the leg and antenna.

really cute bug, nice shot!

That ain't a ladybug imo. Whilst there are thousands of different species the long feelers give this one away. Ladybugs have short, stubby antennae with a roundish little disc at the end of them. That's an Asian bug of some kind. Here's some very good info and a field guide on ladybugs.

But a nicely captured close-up none the less :)

I like the idea but there is too much noise in the picture IMHO...

Is the noise added by software or ISO was boost up? :)
