EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, dated 1898, showcases an intricate interplay between various insects, primarily moths and butterflies, and their host plants: Scotch Fir (Pinus Sylvestris), Spindle Tree (Evonymus Europaeus), and Apple (Pyrus Malus). The moths and butterflies depicted belong to the Tortricidae, Tineidae, and Pterophoridae families, with notable species including Penthina Salicella, Retinia Resinella, Antithesia Pruniana, Grapholitha Citrana, Carpocapsa Pomonella, Tinea Tapetzella, Euplocamus Anthracinalis, Incurvaria Muscalella, Nemophora Swammerdammella, Adela Degeerella, Cerostoma Dentella, Hyponomeuta Evonymella, Hyponomeuta Cognatella, Chimabacche Fagella, Psecadia Pusiella, Psecadia Bipunctella, Pterophorus Pterodactylus, Pterophorus Carphodactylus, and Pterophorus Pentadactylus. The insects are delicately rendered, their wings displaying an array of mesmerizing markings and patterns. The Tortrices, Tineae, and Pterophori families are characterized by their distinctive wing structures, with the Tortrices having a folded, tubular appearance, the Tineae featuring a folded, tent-like wing structure, and the Pterophori possessing large, wing-like structures that fold flat against their bodies when at rest. This stunning illustration transports us back to the late Victorian era, offering a glimpse into the natural world's intricacies and the fascination with the minute details of the insect kingdom. The illustration serves as a testament to the meticulous work of the naturalist artists of the time, who captured the essence of these creatures and their habitats with remarkable accuracy and artistry.
