EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from Curtis's British Entomology, Plate 651, featuring the intricately detailed illustration of the moth species, Caradrina bilinea, now known as Charanyca trigrammica, also referred to as the Treble Lines moth. The Lepidopteran species is depicted resting on the leaves of Gastridium ventricosum, commonly known as Nitgrass or G. lendigerum. The plate, published between 1824 and 1839, is a testament to the meticulous work of the renowned naturalist and botanist, John Curtis, FLS. The illustration showcases the moth's striking appearance, with its wings adorned with distinct treble lines, hence the common name. The delicate wings, with their intricate patterns and veins, are a marvel of nature. The moth's body is depicted with remarkable accuracy, revealing its various segments and appendages. The accompanying plant, Gastridium ventricosum, adds an additional layer of beauty to the composition. The plant's leaves are shown in exquisite detail, with their intricate veins and delicate edges. The Nitgrass is a common plant in Europe and Asia, and its leaves are known to contain nitrates, which make it an essential component of fertilizers. This stunning image is a reminder of the rich natural history of the 19th century, a time when the study of insects and their habitats was a source of great fascination and discovery. The intricate details of the moth and the plant are a testament to the skill and dedication of the naturalists and illustrators of the time, who painstakingly documented the natural world for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
