EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from Curtis's British Entomology, Plate 81, featuring the exquisite Lepidoptera species, Lobophora polycommata, also known as Trichopteryx polycommata, or the Barred Tooth-striped moth. The moth's intricate wings display a striking pattern of alternating light and dark bars, creating a mesmerizing visual effect. The plant in the background is identified as Prunus spinosa, commonly known as the Black Thorn or Sloe, a shrub native to Europe and western Asia. John Curtis, FLS, was a prominent English botanist, entomologist, and publisher who dedicated his career to documenting the natural world. This particular plate is believed to have been published between 1824 and 1839, making it an essential contribution to the 19th-century scientific record. The meticulous detail and high-quality production of the plate reflect the dedication and expertise of Curtis and his team. The Lobophora polycommata is a nocturnal moth, and its larvae feed on various decaying plant material. The adult moths are attracted to light sources, making them a common sight during late nights. The Barred Tooth-striped moth is just one of the many fascinating species documented in Curtis's extensive collection, offering a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the British Isles during the 1800s.
