This painting is a fine example of van Kessel's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the natural world with scientific accuracy while still creating an aesthetically pleasing composition.

The painting features a stag beetle prominently at the center, surrounded by an assortment of other small insects, including butterflies and bees, which are depicted with remarkable realism. The insects are arranged around clusters of red and white berries, possibly to suggest a natural habitat or to provide a contrast that highlights the intricate details and colors of the insects. The work is characteristic of van Kessel's style, which often included the use of a dark background to make the subjects stand out and the use of fine brushwork to achieve the textures and patterns seen in nature.

Jan van Kessel the Elder was part of the famous Brueghel family dynasty of artists and was the grandson of Jan Brueghel the Elder. His works are considered significant contributions to the genre of still life and nature painting, and they reflect the intense interest in the natural sciences that was prevalent during the period.
