專家說明

The lower part of the central column consists of nine flame and pink geometrids (Eumelea); to their right, in column 5, are some emeralds (also Geometridae), and a variety of white moths, including some geometrids, are to their left, in column 3. Five dark yet brilliant, narrow-winged Euchromia (Arctiidae) are placed nearer the top of this same column.
