EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Pale oak eggar, Trichiura crataegi, a stunning hermaphroditic moth species. The image is a handcoloured copperplate engraving created by Johann Georg Klinger in the late 18th century. It is part of Eugenius Johann Christoph Esper's renowned work "Die Schmetterlinge in Abbildungen nach der Natur" which translates to "The Butterflies in Illustrations from Nature". The intricate details captured in this artwork allow us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of this creature's metamorphosis. From its pupa stage to larva and caterpillar forms, we witness the incredible transformation that takes place within these insects. Beyond its scientific significance, this print also offers a glimpse into mythology and paganism. With references to fauns, mythical creatures, and fantastic animals, it reminds us of the rich tapestry of stories woven throughout history. As we admire this piece, let us marvel at both nature's wonders and humanity's creative interpretations. Whether appreciating it for its artistic value or studying it for entomological purposes, there is no denying that this image captures an extraordinary moment frozen in time.
