EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph showcases four exotic moths, each in both their dorsal and ventral views, taken from John O. Westwood's new edition of Dru Drury's Illustrations of Exotic Entomology, published by Bohn in London during 1837. The first moth depicted is the Promethea Silkmoth, Callosamia promethea (Saturnia promethea), with the male shown in both its dorsal and ventral aspects. The Promethea Silkmoth is a large and striking moth, with its wings adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors. The second moth in this enchanting composition is Pitthea famula, which is possibly identified incorrectly as Callimorpha famula. The dorsal and ventral views of this moth reveal its beautiful wing patterns and the intricate details of its body. The third moth is Antheua servula, which might be identified as Odonestis servula. This moth is depicted in both its dorsal and ventral views, revealing its intricate wing patterns and the delicate details of its body. The inclusion of these exotic moths in Westwood's work highlights the fascination with the natural world during the 19th century and the meticulous attention to detail that was characteristic of the era's scientific illustrations. The handcoloured lithographs in Dru Drury's Illustrations of Exotic Entomology were produced during a time when the study of insects was just beginning to reveal the intricacies and beauty of these often overlooked creatures.
