Image description

Inscribed "Plus aloes quam mellis habent" (They contain more bitterness than sweetness) meaning earthly love (arrows of Amor/Cupid) ends in pain even if it begins sweetly; a familiar moral lesson at the time. The inscription at bottom, "Quatuor in rerum natura elementa" (the four elements of Nature) explains the flowers and fruits (which symbolise earth), butterflies (air), the other insects (fire), and the lobster (water).
