I stumbled across this image recently. It is apparently being used as an illustration for a role playing project titled "Urbis". I hope to find more artwork by whoever created this. http://juergen.the-huberts.net/dnd/urbis/monsters_mm.html

The artist responsible for that image is the French illustrator Grandville (real name Jean-Ignace-Isidore Gérard, 1803-1847). Well worth seeking out more of his work now that you know his name!
The Dover book, "Bizarreries and Fantasies of Grandville" is brilliant, 266 illustrations. The title of this picture is "A volvox epidemic strikes the near-microscopic world of the scale insects" I once saw someone with this picture as a tattoo! Paul.
