EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from Curtis's British Entomology, Plate 503, featuring the intricately detailed illustrations of Lepidoptera species, specifically Asopia pictalis and Pyralis pictalis, also known as the Poplar Pyralis. The entomological plate, published between 1824 and 1839, was created under the expert guidance of renowned English botanist and entomologist John Curtis, FLS. The illustration showcases two moths, both belonging to the Pyralidae family, resting on the petals of a Papaver hybridum, commonly known as the Round Rough-headed Poppy. The delicate, velvety texture of the poppy petals provides a striking contrast to the intricate patterns and colors of the moths' wings. Asopia pictalis, depicted on the left, is characterized by its large, bright orange wings with black markings and a distinctive white stripe along the leading edge. Pyralis pictalis, on the right, displays a more subdued color palette, with a light brown body and wings adorned with intricate patterns of darker brown and white. The 19th century plate is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and scientific accuracy that defined the field of entomology during this period. The intricate illustrations, combined with the careful identification of the species and their host plant, continue to captivate and inspire interest in the natural world.
