EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning illustration, dated 1898, showcases an enchanting assembly of Hadenidae and Xylinidae species, gracing the branches of various plants from the late Victorian era. The illustration, titled "Hadenidae -- Xylinidae," was created by the talented artist Valeria Oleagina and features a captivating assortment of butterflies and moths. The foreground is adorned with a sloe tree, its dark, glossy berries contrasting beautifully with the delicate wings of the Chariptera Culta, Hadena Didyma, Hadena Strigilis, Dipterygia Pinastri, Euplexia Lucipara, Habryntis Scita, Habryntis Meticulosa, Rhizogramma Detersa, Eriopus Purpureofasciatus, Xylina Ornithopus, Calocampa Exoleta, Xylomyges Conspicillaris, and the sweet violet (Viola Odorata) that blooms at its base. In the background, blackthorn (Prunus Spinosa) and vetch (Pisum Arvense) plants provide a lush, green backdrop, while grasses add texture and depth to the scene. The intricate markings and patterns on the wings of these insects are a testament to the beauty and diversity of nature during this period. This illustration is a captivating glimpse into the natural world of the late 1890s, a time when the intricacies of the natural world were being explored and documented in exquisite detail. The delicate balance between these insects and the plants they inhabit is a reminder of the interconnectedness of all living things and the importance of preserving the natural world for future generations.
