Beautiful exposure, greens and red and blacks very well represented and accurate. Focus appears to be on the lady birds back (reflection) and not the "eyes" or front mandible area. Not fond of the eye catching grasses leading from middle left into the picture nor the wood "railing" (?) or hand of man (man made object) in a "Wildlife" challenge. Wildlife photography avoids these things, and presents wildlife without it, even whilst it is becoming more difficult to find true wild in it's shrinking environment. Although the challenge description gives some leeway in this regard I am a purist. There is a difference between a nature image (non or captive animal in a man made environment) and a wildlife image even though your subject is wild and obviously not captive.

Great shot, very different from the rest of the field. That's some red.
Well done.

You can always find some wildlife (I have a feeling insects were supposed to be excluded form the challenge, but happy to overlook that), wherever you are! Nicely captured with the perfect dof. For me, the ends of the blades of grass don't add anything to the photo.
