EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming vintage postcard, dating back to the 1910s, showcases a beautiful collection of British moths. The image features six distinct species: Forester Moth, Red Underwing, Scarce Green, Silver Lines, Small Yellow Wave, and Emperor. The Forester Moth, also known as the Brindled Pug, is a medium-sized moth with a wingspan of around 3.5 cm. Its forewings are brown with a distinctive white 'V' marking, while its hindwings are grey with a brown border. The Red Underwing Moth, also known as the Catoblepas moth, is a nocturnal species with a wingspan of up to 5 cm. Its forewings are brown with a distinctive red band, while its hindwings are a striking orange-red color with black veins. The Scarce Green, Silver Lines Moth is a small moth with a wingspan of around 2.5 cm. Its forewings are a pale green color with silver lines, while its hindwings are a lighter shade of green. The Small Yellow Wave Moth is a medium-sized moth with a wingspan of around 4 cm. Its forewings are a pale yellow color with dark brown waves, while its hindwings are a paler yellow. The Emperor Moth is one of the largest and most striking moths in the UK, with a wingspan of up to 10 cm. Its forewings are a beautiful orange-brown color with black markings, while its hindwings are a striking purple-brown with a distinctive white 'eye' marking. The Perforated Moth, also known as the Square-spotted Rustic, is a medium-sized moth with a wingspan of around 4 cm. Its forewings are a pale brown color with darker brown spots and a distinctive perforated edge. These moths are just a few of the many fascinating species that can be found in the British Isles. They are an important part of the ecosystem, playing a crucial role in pollination and food sources for other animals. This postcard is a lovely reminder of the natural beauty that can be found in our own backyards.
