These lovely pieces are from a 1927 issue of National Geographic article entitled “Our Insect Friends and Foes and Spiders”, illustrated by Hashime Muryama.
This article was later reproduced in 1935 in a collection by the same name of insect stories and illustrations.



As much as I love scientific illustrations, they’re even better when they could stand alone as beautiful works of art!
Very Nice! Great Find.
