Great job of blending and colour match -- folds in the skin blend seamlessly

Love this...great blend, color & composition!

This is genius!

Wonder what the butterfly from this will look like?????? Love it! GL

Excellent idea!! Try to isolate desaturated caterpillar better (more precise) from colored environment, You can still see desaturated background around its body.
edit:

looks awesome

Fantastic job!

That's absolutely gorgeous >.

< You can even create an insect with attached body parts from more than one other animal, but remember that the main "creature" still has to be an insect. Have fun! >

I dont want to spoil, but the main creature isn't an insect anymore is it?

Correct me if I'm wrong !

I love this one, soooo creative. And it just fits! Wonderful creation, author. If only it were real, I'd want one! hehe.

Very cute!

nice work author...good luck

There is a clear line between where the insect stops and the giraffe neck starts which makes it less convincing, they don't quite match in size or colour either.

LOL!

I know the giraffe's neck was short, but don't stretch it cause the spots look weird. Either copy paste and blend a part of the neck to continue either make a blend between the mantis neck and the giraffe.
You'll have to blend the fore members too.

cool idea author, u could create some curves on giraffe's neck...
