Archetypa studiaque patris Georgii Hoefnagelii [Part 2, Plate 8]
The image contains two large insects with their wings spread, one at the top right and another at the top center-right, along with a rodent at the bottom center. The image has a monochromatic color palette of black and white due to its engraving style. A detailed lily flower stretches diagonally on the left, and an elongated caterpillar is positioned next to it towards the center. The mouse is centrally located, with its tail extending towards the left, surrounded by various plant seeds and shells, small insects, and another insect at the bottom right.
