EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Johann Carl Bock after Eugenius Johann Christoph Espers' Die Schmetterlinge in Abbildungen nach der Natur (The Butterflies and Moths in Representations according to Nature), showcases two stunning moths of the Noctuidae family: the Lunar Yellow Underwing (Noctua orbona, depicted as the solitary moth in the foreground) and the Langmaids Yellow Underwing (Noctua janthina, shown in groups of four). The Lunar Yellow Underwing, also known as the Sweet Fern Dart or the Antinympha Moth, is characterized by its striking yellow and black wings, which bear a striking resemblance to the moon's surface. The moth's body is adorned with intricate, gold-colored scales, and its wingspan measures approximately 3.5 centimeters. The Langmaids Yellow Underwing, also known as the Lesser Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing or the Nymphagoga Moth, boasts similar yellow and black wings, but with more prominent black markings. Its wingspan is slightly larger than that of the Lunar Yellow Underwing, measuring around 4 centimeters. Both moths can be found in various parts of Europe, with the Lunar Yellow Underwing preferring habitats near oak trees, while the Langmaids Yellow Underwing is often found near sweetfern and other shrubs. During the day, these moths rest hidden among foliage, and they are most active during the night, when they use their long proboscises to feed on nectar from flowers. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of this engraving serve as a testament to the artistry and scientific accuracy of the time. The metamorphosis of these moths from caterpillars to adults is a fascinating aspect of entomology, and this engraving offers a glimpse into the beauty and diversity of the Lepidoptera world.
