EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the various stages of the Oleander Hawkmoth, Daphnis nerii, a fascinating and beautiful moth native to the Old World. The image is taken from George Shaw and Frederick Nodder's "The Naturalist's Miscellany," published in London in 1799. The engraving begins with the caterpillar, which is depicted in its vibrant green and black form, adorned with white and yellow stripes. This stage of the Oleander Hawkmoth's life cycle is characterized by its voracious appetite, as it feeds on the leaves of the oleander plant, its sole food source. Next, the pupa, or chrysalis, is shown in its protective casing. This stage marks the transformation from caterpillar to adult moth, a process known as metamorphosis. The pupa is typically found on the underside of leaves or in crevices, where it remains hidden and undisturbed until it is ready to emerge as an adult. Finally, the adult Oleander Hawkmoth is depicted in all its glory. With its wings spread wide, this moth displays its striking colors and intricate patterns. The Oleander Hawkmoth is known for its large size, with a wingspan of up to 5 inches, and its distinctive markings, which include bright orange and black wings, and a white band across the forewings. This engraving is a testament to the natural beauty and intricacy of the natural world, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and studying the many wonders of zoology and natural history.
