The work emphasizes the beauty and complexity of entomological specimens, highlighting Drury's intention to encourage curiosity and scientific study in natural history. The opening of the volume includes a preface where the author reflects on the positive reception of the first volume and his motivation for producing this work. Drury expresses satisfaction with the advancements in natural history during his time and discusses the importance of accurate representations of insects as a means to appreciate the wonders of nature. He also mentions the careful attention given to the illustrations, which he believes are in no way exaggerated, striving instead to adhere closely to the colors and characteristics found in nature.
