The image shows seven moths of varying sizes and patterns, arranged within a circular boundary lightly marked on the paper. The color palette consists of browns, tans, and grays, with accents of orange, yellow, and dark brown on the moths' bodies and wings. The largest moth is positioned towards the left side, while another large moth is on the right. The other moths are scattered within the circle, each with distinct wing patterns and colors, contrasting against the light-colored background. A label with the text "XXXII." appears on the outer right of the circle.
