The composition would be better with the bug on the right. I am not sure what type of insect this is. The background is great. I would reduce the exposure a little.

Krishna, I agree the image looks a little thin, I would try reducing the exposure a little to get more depth of tone. As a general rule it is a good idea to have the head pointing into space as opposed to the tail.
(I have you got your crop tool set to ROT or similar compositional aid?(

Hi Krishna. The insect is a type of Solitary Wasp (Family Sphecidae) (there are many different species in this Family). If this was shot on a cool early morning the wasp may have been still sleeping - they will often clamp their mandibles onto a stem in the evening and stay locked in that position overnight. If this was shot during the heat of the day, chances are that it was dead. You are very unlikely to be stung by one of these - unless you try to pick it up in your hands. I would agree with John and Jon about the composition. Otherwise, this is a very nice image.
