Illustration:
An illustration is a drawing, painting or printed work of art which explains, clarifies, illuminates, visually represents, or merely decorates a written text, which may be of a literary or commercial nature.
The process of pathogenesis begins with Adhesion of fungal infective units or conidium to the insect epicuticle
Germination of infective units on cuticle, Penetration of the cuticle
Multiplication in the haemolymph Death of the host (Nutritional
deficiency , destruction of tissues and releasingtoxins) Mycelial growth with invasion of all host organs
Penetration of hyphae from the interior through the cuticle to exterior of the insect Production of infective conidia on the exterior of the insect.
Most of the entomopathogenic fungi infect their hosts by penetration of the
cuticle by producing cuticle digesting enzymes ( Proteases lipases chitinases).The typical symptoms of fungal infection are, mummified body of insects and it does not disintegrate in water and body covered with filamentous mycelium

Since material written to teach or inform usually needs illustrations to support the text, it becomes part of the author’s job to suggest the illustrations in the manuscript.
1. Pick the passages to be illustrated -Pick the passages that you want illustrated while you
are writing; don’t wait until you have done all the writing to go back through the manuscript, slapping in pictures here and there.
2. Choose illustrations for your particular text
3. Integrate illustrations and text
Once you have decided on the illustrations, you must integrate them with the text. You can do this by:
a) Putting illustrations near the text they support,b) Making timely and adequate references to the illustrations,c) Discussing them in detail in your writing.
4.How to prepare illustrations - You should label all necessary parts - You should give the illustration a good talking caption. - You should decide how large the reproduced illustration should be
Types of illustrations

1.Photographs:
A photograph or photo is an image created by light falling on a light-sensitive surface, usually photographic film or an electronic medium . Most photographs are created using a camera, which uses a lens to focus the scene's visible wavelengths of light into a reproduction of what the human eye would see. The process and practice of creating photographs is called photography.
Choose whether to insert your images within your chapters, at the end of chapters, or in a separate appendix at the end of your thesis. (Consult your thesis advisor.)
“photograph title” will display in your List of Figures
“ Image caption” will not display in your List of Figures. (Use this for any annotative descriptions of the image.)
Keep your figures in separate files until you are ready to compile your Complete thesis.
But if you are going to create photographs in Word, create them in a file based on the Chapter Template.
This way when you go to insert the photographs into your full thesis document, the formatting will look the same.
Generally figures/photographs are included the page after they are mentioned, without leaving a gap at the bottom of the page before the figure. Unfortunately, there is no way to tell Word "put the figure on the page after it is first mentioned". When you go to insert your photographs .
Generating photographs:
If two photographs are there we should have to follow the page specifications.
2” gap should be there.
Techniques in writing the captions The caption should related to our image The caption should not too long as it is not accommodate
in the page. Always mention below the figure no. Or plate no. The caption should no t be in the capital letters Follow the general font. The picture should not be bordered outsides We should not alter the photograph inside the image b
artificially

have to give Don’t leave the space more on the top and bottom and on
the sides of the page It should be in the centre to the page leave 2” from the top We should have give correct title and caption to the image
or photograph
The caption should be bellow the fig no or plate No the photographs must be in the centre of the page follow
the symmetry of the page The no. which we are giving in the list that should be
match with the inside the image or figure. basically which is appearing first in te thesis that should
given to first no. We should not give the illustrations in the discussion
parts and references chapters The illustrations must come in the results chapter .
