This stunning illustration, dated 1898, showcases a vibrant collection of Lasiocampidae moths (Lasiocampa Quercus, Lasiocampa Rubi, Eriogaster Rimicola, Eriogaster Lanestris, Crateronyx Dumeti) in their natural habitat amongst various plants. The intricately detailed illustration captures the beauty and unique markings of each moth's wings, with Lasiocampa Quercus and Lasiocampa Rubi displaying a striking resemblance to the monarch butterfly with their bold orange and black patterns. The background is adorned with lush branches of Sloe (Prunus spinosa), Blackthorn (Prunus spinosa), Raspberry (Rubus idaeus), and Oak (Quercus robur). The Sloe and Blackthorn branches are adorned with small white flowers, while the Raspberry bush boasts bright red fruit. The Oak tree, with its large, sturdy leaves, provides the perfect backdrop for these captivating creatures. This illustration offers a glimpse into the natural world of the late Victorian era, showcasing the intricate relationship between these moths and their plant hosts. The attention to detail and the use of naturalistic colors make this a truly remarkable piece of historical art. The Lasiocampidae family, also known as the tiger moths and the wood-nesters, are a diverse group of moths, with over 3,000 described species. This illustration highlights just a few of the many beautiful and fascinating members of this family. The illustration is a testament to the artistry and scientific curiosity of the late 1800s, providing us with a window into the natural world of over a century ago.
