Ready for Take off...

ID: Id help appreciated, some beetle on Commelina flower

Was busy clicking this tiny beauty, feeding on the fresh nectar of the commelina flower, when it decided to move off, almost hiding away from the camera. Later I realized it had moved up to the tip of the flower and anticipating it to be flying off, i tried my level best to keep a track and focus on the subject and eventually ended up with this frame, before it took off

Nice. I feel composing as per the rule of third, by placing the bee slightly more to the right would have strengthened the composition further. Also including less of the flower would have been good as the blue colour is striking and can distract. Is that a leaf(?) stuck on its wings? Thanks for sharing.
