I like the soft light here. This is a really nicely shot botanical macro. I hope you don't keep us guessing for too long ;) Also quite interested in what kind of plant this is.

I'm thinking some type of cacti?

The soft textures of the bark provides a nice counterpoint (ouch - sorry) to the sharp thorns. Nicely captured. Regards, Najinsky

Ouch indeed, great macro Mary Anne, I love the background as well.

Great insect hide-away against predators of the flying variety except I guess the extremely long beaked species?

Wow. Very impressive. An absolute nightmare for any parachutist. Superb image. Regards Nico

The background sets this off nicely as well as the slight tilt of the subject. The detail is amazing. jano

Methinks a tree (or bush). Very well done!

A caterpillar or a tree? Very nice shot. - CameraShy09
