EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Johann Carl Bock after Eugenius Johann Christoph Espers' Die Schmetterlinge in Abbildungen nach der Natur, published in Erlangen in 1786, showcases a captivating collection of moths from the Lepidoptera order. The image features six different species: Catocala conversa, Catocala nymphaea, and Catocala nymphagoga. The first two moths, Catocala conversa and Catocala nymphaea, belong to the same genus, Catocala, and are commonly known as the Waved and White-marked Tiger Moths, respectively. Both species possess striking wing patterns, with intricate lines and patches that provide excellent camouflage against their natural habitats. The Waved Tiger Moth's wings display a series of wavy lines, while the White-marked Tiger Moth's wings boast a distinctive white band near the leading edge. The fifth moth in the illustration is the Oak Yellow Underwing, Catocala nymphagoga. This moth is easily identified by its orange-brown forewings, which are adorned with a series of wavy, dark lines and a distinctive yellow patch near the hindwings. The metamorphosis of these moths from caterpillar to adult is a fascinating process. During their larval stage, they feed on various vegetation, such as oak leaves, before pupating in a silken cocoon. Once the transformation is complete, the adult moth emerges, ready to begin its life cycle anew. This beautifully detailed engraving is a testament to the intricacy and diversity of the natural world, providing a glimpse into the captivating world of moths and their metamorphosis. The delicate handcolouring adds an extra layer of beauty to the already stunning illustrations, making this a truly remarkable piece of entomological history.
