The picture I posted is not moonwort. It's information about another plant in addition to the two pics I posted. I didn't have time to link a picture (I'm working during the day).
Look up Lunaria - moonwort on Google images. Moonwort has very regular leaves.
Never mind. I'll find one...

The VMS illustrator can't draw very well. It's not bad, but it's not expert either. The observations are good, the detail is often there, but the drawing-skill level is average. He or she has REAL difficulty with thinking in three dimensions. The nymphs are all drawn according to a formula. So, choosing a pattern and sticking with it, for any particular kind of leaf, something that is close, would not be an unusual thing to do. After all, the nymphs are drawn mostly to a pattern.
I am completely open to the idea that the patterns are chosen for a reason, but one argument I don't accept is that these patterns are not found in nature. Nature is VASTLY inventive. Anything you can imagine, within physical reason, is usually out there somewhere.
