Banded Wooly Bearby

Initial Impression:
Nice macro. The colors are a little off-putting, but hey, it's nature, and they're nice and vivid.
Composition:
A centered composition works well for macro shots, and this is no exception. Perhaps a more square crop would be more pleasing with the round flower head, but that may just be nit-picking.
Color/Tone:
Very vivid colors, even if it's not the most pleasant combination in my eyes. Did you try this as a black & white or duotone? There's plenty of contrast in the photo, and I wonder the caterpillar would have been more camouflaged?
Focus/Exposure:
The focus is dead-on, and the depth of field gives the photo an almost 3D quality.
Title:
Servicable. It is what it is. Can't find too much fault with it - I have nothing better to suggest.
Meets the Challenge:
Yes, I think so. I think I can see what you were going for: the rust of the flower head matching the rust of the caterpillar. I do wonder if black and white would have made it meet the challenge more, though.
Summary:
Technically an almost flawless photo. Aesthetically, not the greatest, but certainly not bad.
