EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Johann Carl Bock after the original works of Eugenius Johann Christoph Espér, showcases two stunning varieties of underwing moths: the French red underwing (Catocala elocata 1 and 2). The French red underwing, also known as the pacta and coniuncta underwing or the red underwing noctua, is characterized by its vibrant red and black wings, which are adorned with intricate patterns of white and gold. The second moth depicted is the dark crimson underwing variety (Catocala sponsa 3), also known as the Suecica underwing or the dark crimson noctua. This moth boasts rich, dark red wings with striking white markings, making it a captivating sight. The meticulous attention to detail in this engraving is truly remarkable, as each moth's unique features are beautifully rendered. This engraving is a testament to the intricacy and artistry of 18th-century natural history illustrations. The underwing moths, belonging to the family Erebidae, undergo a fascinating metamorphosis. They begin their life as caterpillars, which can be found feeding on various plants, such as willows and poplars. Once they have completed their development, they pupate in a silken cocoon. After several weeks, the adult moth emerges, ready to begin its own life cycle. This engraving is an essential addition to any entomology or lepidoptera collection, providing a glimpse into the natural world of the past. The intricate details and vibrant colors make it a stunning piece of art, as well as a valuable scientific resource.
