EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of three moth species - the Figure of eight, swallow prominent, and Drymonia velitaris. The intricate details of these delicate creatures are brought to life through a handcoloured copperplate engraving by Johann Carl Bock in the 18th century. The Figure of eight moth, Diloba caeruleocephala, is known for its distinctive markings resembling the number "8". Its vibrant colors and unique patterns make it a true marvel of nature. Alongside it, we find the swallow prominent moth, Pheosia tremula, with its elegant wings that resemble those of a bird in flight. Lastly, we have the Drymonia velitaris moth which adds another layer of enchantment with its subtle hues and graceful form. This print is part of Eugenius Johann Christoph Esper's renowned work "Die Schmetterlinge in Abbildungen nach der Natur" (The Butterflies Illustrated from Nature), where he meticulously documented various butterfly and moth species. It serves as a testament to both scientific accuracy and artistic skill. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the wonders found within our natural world. The metamorphosis from pupa to larva to caterpillar before transforming into these mesmerizing moths is truly awe-inspiring. Let us cherish and protect these fascinating insects that contribute so much to our ecosystem.
