EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning image is taken from Curtis's British Entomology, Plate 428, featuring the Small Black Arches, scientifically known as Meganola strigula (previously identified as Nola monachalis), a moth belonging to the family Nolidae within the order Lepidoptera. The intricately detailed illustration, produced during the 1820s to 1830s, was created by the skilled hand of John Curtis FLS. The Small Black Arches can be found in various parts of Europe, including the British Isles, and are characterized by their small size, black wings with distinctive white markings, and arched wing tips. The plant depicted in the background is Common Cotton-grass, Eriophorum angustifolium, a species native to wetlands and bogs throughout the Northern Hemisphere. The delicate, feathery tufts of the plant contrast beautifully with the bold wings of the moth, providing a captivating and harmonious composition. John Curtis was a renowned English botanist and entomologist, whose extensive work on British insects and plants significantly contributed to the scientific understanding of these organisms during the 19th century. The meticulous illustrations in Curtis's British Entomology series are considered masterpieces of natural history art, showcasing the exquisite details of the subjects and the artist's exceptional skill. This image is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world, offering a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of Europe during the 19th century. The intricate details of the Small Black Arches and the Common Cotton-grass, as well as the harmonious relationship between the two, make this a truly captivating piece of natural history.
