My main quibble is that the death's head moth should have a death's head on its thorax. This seems to combine the setting of Leonardo's Virgin Of The Rocks with treatments of the punishment of Tantalus in Hades by way of renaissance Venetian art, all in a style reminiscent of that of Virgil Finlay, arguably one of the best half dozen 'Golden Age' science fiction magazine/book cover illustrators.
