"Looking-Glass Insects" is a notable illustration from the 1872 sequel to Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," titled "Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There." This illustration, like many others in the book, was created by Sir John Tenniel, an English illustrator, graphic humorist, and political cartoonist renowned for his work with Lewis Carroll. Tenniel's illustrations are pivotal in bringing Carroll's imaginative and whimsical world to life, with "Looking-Glass Insects" being a prime example of his meticulous and evocative style.

The illustration accompanies the chapter in which Alice, the protagonist, encounters a gnat that introduces her to a variety of insects, each with its own peculiar characteristics and names, such as the "Rocking-horse-fly" and the "Snap-dragonfly." These creatures are unique to the Looking-Glass world, showcasing Carroll's inventive wordplay and Tenniel's ability to visualize these fantastical elements. Tenniel's work for "Through the Looking-Glass" further solidified his reputation as a master illustrator, with his detailed engravings capturing the essence of Carroll's narrative and adding a layer of depth and engagement to the story.

"Looking-Glass Insects" is emblematic of the Victorian era's fascination with natural history and the exploration of new, fantastical worlds through literature and art. Tenniel's illustrations, including this one, have become iconic, defining the visual interpretation of Carroll's work for generations of readers. The collaboration between Carroll and Tenniel remains one of the most celebrated partnerships in children's literature, with "Looking-Glass Insects" standing as a testament to their combined creative genius.
