Of course you planned it for the eyes to be clearly seen! Very important! I would call this critter a grasshopper. Good & interesting composition with all the pink spikes reaching upwards and providing a curved symmetry across the image. Also nice that the foreground is OOF and provides a soft pink base for the detailed grasshopper. That allows the eye to go right to the featured critter.

I appreciate the idea and intention but for me it doesn't quite work - but hey that's me many will disagree.

Nice. Looks like the cricket is peering out.
