The title doesn't connect to the image, and neither connects to mystery or magic for me. The butterfly effect relates to butterflies flapping wings and creating tiny winds that affect things around the world. Not caterpillars.

That said, the focus is nice on the caterpillar's head. However, the dim lighting there, combined with the harsh highlight on its back, yields a pic that isn't so great. 3.

The highlights are quite harsh. Looks like there's quite a bit of PP as well (looking at the background). Gonna have to 4 this one.

wish the highlight on the caterpillar wasn't blown out, other than that ... nice job!
