EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, dated 1898, showcases an enchanting assembly of various moths and butterflies from the Cossidae, Cochliopodidae, Hepialidae, and Psychidae families. The intricately detailed drawing highlights the unique beauty of each insect, with their distinctive markings and wing structures. In the foreground, the Cossus Ligniperda, also known as the European Oak Marble Moth, rests atop a dandelion (Leontodon Taraxacum), its wings folded in a protective pose. Nearby, the Zeuzera Aesculi, or the Horse Chestnut Bud Moth, perches on a sallow (Salix Caprea) branch, its wings spread wide, displaying bold, contrasting markings. Further along the branch, the Limacodes Testudo, or the Common Tiger Moth, clings to the bark, its wings adorned with striking yellow and black stripes. The Hepialus Humuli, or the Tortoiseshell Moth, and Hepialus Lupulinus, or the Hop Tree Moth, are depicted in the background, their wings unfurled, revealing delicate patterns. The Hepialus Hectus, or the Nutmeg Moth, and the Psyche Unicolor, or the Common Waved Moth, are shown in the lower left corner, while the Psyche Viciella, or the Small Waved Moth, and Oreopsyche Muscella, or the Musk Moth, are nestled among the apple (Pyrus Malus) blossoms. This image, a testament to the natural world's splendor, offers a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the late Victorian era. The delicate interplay of the insects' wings against the backdrop of the dandelion, sallow, and apple branches creates a harmonious balance between the intricacies of nature and the artistry of the illustration itself.
