Sometimes the only features that distinguishes species from one another are found in the genitalia. Without their removal and a staining process, one cannot observe these body parts, even under a microscope. Typically the scientists will make these drawings, as illustrators don't usually have the training to interpret the twists and turns of these body parts.
