The background is a pale yellow, and the caterpillars are arranged in a grid-like pattern. Each caterpillar is depicted in a side view, showcasing its segmented body, legs, and coloration. The caterpillars vary in size, shape, and color, ranging from green and brown to reddish-brown and black. Some have stripes, spots, or other markings. The illustration is detailed and precise, with attention paid to the anatomy of each caterpillar. Below the illustration is a list of the Latin names corresponding to the numbered caterpillars. The style is reminiscent of 19th-century scientific illustrations, with a focus on accuracy and detail.
