A beautiful catch this one. Also nice to get a name for it (and gender to boot ;-). Sharp all over except for a tiny bit on the tip of the left wing - so little, you hardly notice. Wonderful how the light reflects on the eye.

It's exciting composition and detail. Half of the yellow flower covered with the red butterfly, turn out in great contrast. I like nearly diagonal position of the insect against frame.

Excellent symmetry. The composition makes it look like it is one hybrid organism with two colors!

The important point is that you succeeded very well in arranging your DOF. It's always nice to have a perfectly sharp main subject, a slightly blurred secondary subject and a vague (and not distractive) background. Colors are matching very well and the butterfly proboscis showing she's well alive is visible too. Well done. IMO, a very good macro!

Great composition! It's very nice to see how the buterfly wings complete the shape of the flower.

Great DOF, and colors.
