EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving by Johann Georg Klinger, titled "Emperor moth, Saturnia pavonia," showcases the intricate metamorphosis of this magnificent Lepidopteran species. The image captures the Emperor moth in four distinct stages of its life cycle: larva, pupa, chrysalis, and adult. The larva, or caterpillar, is depicted with its vibrant, spiny body and distinctive lobster-like legs, which it uses to move about and feed on the leaves of its host plant, typically the European beech tree (Fagus sylvatica). The pupa, or chrysalis, is shown in its protective casing, where the transformation from caterpillar to adult takes place. The chrysalis stage is a critical period for the Emperor moth, as it undergoes metamorphosis, with its old body parts dissolving and new ones forming. Once the transformation is complete, the adult Emperor moth emerges, revealing its prominent, winged form. The adult moth, with its large, wingspan, and striking markings, is a sight to behold. This engraving is an exquisite example of 18th-century natural history illustration, taken from Eugenius Johann Christoph Espers' Die Schmetterlinge in Abbildungen nach der Natur. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of hand-coloring enhance the beauty and accuracy of the illustration, making it a valuable resource for entomologists and natural history enthusiasts alike.
