(38.1 x 28.26 cm) (sheet), Hand-colored etching and engraving, Germany, 18th century, In this beautifully balanced composition, Merian has depicted two Saturniid moths Arsenura armada (Cramer) at top right and bottom left. The larvae are not the early stage of this moth as Merian had thought, but of another species.
