EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Johann Carl Bock for Eugenius Johann Christoph Espers' Die Schmetterlinge in Abbildungen nach der Natur (The Butterflies in Representations according to Nature), published in Erlangen in 1786, showcases an intriguing assembly of six moths: the Red-line Quaker (Agrochola lota), Clouded Buff (Diacrisia sannio), Flounced Chestnut (Agrochola helvola), Antler Moth (Cerapteryx graminis), Feathered Footman (Coscinia striata), and Lygephila lusoria. The Red-line Quaker, with its vibrant red lines and orange wings, is depicted in the top left corner. The Clouded Buff, characterized by its clouded wings, is shown in the top right. The Flounced Chestnut, with its distinctive flounced hindwings, is illustrated in the bottom left. The Antler Moth, named for its antler-like projections, is shown in the middle, while the Feathered Footman, with its striking resemblance to a feathered foot, is depicted in the bottom right. The Lygephila lusoria, with its intricately patterned wings, is displayed in the center. This engraving is a testament to the remarkable detail and accuracy of 18th-century entomological illustrations. The moths are depicted in various stages of their life cycles, from the pupa to the adult form, highlighting the fascinating process of metamorphosis. The intricate patterns and colors of their wings are captured with remarkable precision, providing a glimpse into the natural world of these captivating insects. The Lepidoptera, or butterflies and moths, continue to fascinate scientists and naturalists alike, with new discoveries and insights into their biology and behavior continually emerging. This beautiful and intricate engraving serves as a reminder of the rich history of entomological research and the importance of documenting the natural world for future generations.
