The colored plates, or Nature Prints, used in this work, are direct transfers from the insects themselves; that is to say, the scales of the wings of the insects are transferred to the paper while the bodies are printed from engravings and afterward colored by hand.

And what magnificent illustrations they are, embodying all the beauty and perfection of the specimens themselves!
