The image features three insects inside an oval border: a butterfly with orange and black wings on the left side, a closed-wing butterfly with a predominantly blue and brown pattern on the right, and a detailed cricket-like insect with brown tones below. The color palette includes natural tones such as orange, black, brown, and blue, set against a light background. The number "XI" is labeled on the right side outside the oval.
