This is a vintage illustration of six different caterpillars, likely from a scientific or natural history publication. The illustration is arranged in a grid-like fashion, with each caterpillar depicted in a detailed, side-view profile. Here's a breakdown of each caterpillar: 1. **Top Left:** A vibrant green caterpillar with a series of red and yellow spots along its sides. It has a red head and a pointed tail. 2. **Top Right:** A caterpillar with a pale yellow body and a series of dark brown and white spots.

Below the illustrations, there is text identifying each caterpillar species. The text reads: '1. Sph. Ligustri. 2. Sph. Quercus. 3. - 4. Sph. Lincata. 5. - 6. Sph. Populi.'
