Not sure who the little beetle is, but the flower is a wild basil (Clinopodium vulgare).

I like this very much, But I think it would be that much better without the beetle.

Actually, I'd like to see more of the beetle
Lighting on the vegetation is really nice, with good lines to bring you to the flower
But... My tastes tend to run towards isolates the primary subject. I would prefer to see either more of the beetle, with that as the subject, or the beetle missing altogether so I can mentally focus more on the vegetation. As it stands, I'm not sure what you want me to look at.
I can't help on the beetle id either.
