Critique Go on, tickle my tummy

Hi all, Taken last week, I think its Lygaeus equestris, Lygaeus simulans. Family: Seed Bugs or Ground Bugs (Lygaeidae)
I saw it walking along this bit of grass, nowhere to go.

Thats quite nice, though i am finding the blade of grass its holding onto abit of a distraction and kinda gets in the way of focusing on the bug. However gotta say you have some great flickr pics!!!

Thanks very much Justin, thats a nice comment and I really appreciate it.
Now, on with the bug in question, well without the bit of grass the bug would`nt be there lol but I kinda see where your coming from. Go on, tickle his belly

I think if the grass was in focus it wouldn't be so bad (not that its a bad picture) but for some reason the blurred lines making my eyes go funny lol although to be fair im no expert and its a much better shot than i could have taken as you'll see from the lack of photos i post lol.
