JAPANESE UKIYO-E: CAPTURING FIREFLIES

Below the main picture is a picture of the left margin of this ukiyo-e, giving details of printing. This is by the artist Toshihide, b. 1862, d. 1925. The picture is one of a series of 12 beatiful women, and the print was completed in 1902, printed in 1903. Does anyone know, if the others have also insects in them?
