A vivarium is an enclosed space or habitat designed to house and observe plants or animals, often used for study or as a hobby. These enclosures vary in size, from small aquariums or terrariums for keeping reptiles, amphibians, or insects, to large, complex ecosystems intended for housing and breeding exotic or endangered species. The primary purpose of a vivarium is to create a controlled environment that closely simulates the natural habitat of the plants or animals it contains, thereby providing optimal conditions for their well-being and study.

This artwork not only showcases the beauty of these delicate creatures but also emphasizes the importance of creating suitable habitats for their observation and conservation. The combination of scientific accuracy and artistic elegance in this illustration makes it a timeless piece, cherished by both art enthusiasts and naturalists alike.
