Housed in a private collection, this artwork offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of insects and their remarkable transformations. The engraving depicts two ichneumons, Ephialtes manifestator, engaging in their unique reproductive behavior. The male ichneumon gracefully takes flight on the left side of the image while the female delicately introduces an egg into the body of a larva. A female Ephialtes named Rhyssa persuasoria can also be seen perched on a branch to the left.

It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a scientific reference for entomology enthusiasts. The intricate details captured within this print highlight not only the beauty but also shed light on nature's complex processes.
