Dew-drenched drinker

I swithered over whether to post this or not, because I'm not happy with it compositionally; however, there was nothing I could do to better isolate this dew-drenched drinker moth caterpillar from the surrounding vegetation. I had to crop in really tight, and it's still a very busy image! The caterpillar had obviously spent the night in my hedge, and was sheltered within the foliage. I've never seen a caterpillar with so many dew drops on it!
