This is a detailed black and white illustration of an insect, resembling a wasp or bee, but with a macabre twist. The insect is depicted in profile, with a large, bulbous head featuring enormous, multifaceted eyes. Its antennae are long and curved. The thorax and abdomen are segmented and covered in dense, textured fur. The wings are large and translucent, with a network of veins. What makes this illustration unique is the presence of small skulls and crossbones embedded within the wings, adding a sinister element. The insect has six legs, each with tiny claws. The overall style is reminiscent of vintage scientific illustrations, with meticulous detail and cross-hatching used to create texture and depth. The illustration is signed with the initials 'L.B.' and the name 'JATTAULT' at the bottom.
