Very neat image of the Monarch Butterfly caterpillers, but I (strongly) agree with Ann: The measure of a good macro lens is NOT how it renders the "in focus" plane (they are virtually ALL great at that) but how it renders the Out Of Focus plane (the bokeh). The bokeh is what separates the "men" from the "boys" in macro lenses. What lens was this taken with? I tend to call bokeh that looks like that "weird-ass bokeh". Some people like it. I do not.
