The image features a detailed slug at the bottom center, a large butterfly on the left connected to a flower, and various other insects and botanical elements such as a shell, a hornet, and flowers. The color palette is monochromatic, using only black ink on a beige background resembling an engraving. The slug is at the bottom center, the butterfly is on the left with small flowers, and on the right, a hornet and spider are placed near floral arrangements. Latin text is located just below the central elements. Various insects and fruits are spread throughout the composition, adding to the intricate details.
