The image depicts a beige background with a collection of four insect illustrations. The largest insect, a moth, is positioned near the top-center. It has large wings with shades of brown and green. To the right of the moth is a yellow butterfly with black lines on its wings. Below the moth are two more insects: a small moth with brown spots on its wings to the left and a white butterfly to the right. There is a vertical column of black foreign script on the left side. A red stamp-like design with foreign script is located in the top-right corner. The entire image appears to be on a piece of paper with a light brown border.
