The illustration shows seven different butterfly species: two long-tailed swallowtail species (top), a blue lycaenid, two small swallowtails, and two orange-brown butterflies. Particularly noteworthy are the different developmental stages of several species - caterpillars, pupae, and butterflies are shown side by side, providing insight into the complete metamorphosis of these insects.
