I agree on capture progress!
Now you need to consider post processing tweaks. Here I have slightly adjusted exposure, contrast, color saturation, & sharpening, then cropped tightly.
Are you capturing raw, or just JPG?
With insects & animals, focus on eyes, or leading eye, is critical. You are a bit back-focused here.
Again, I slightly tweaked, then cropped.
