EDITORS COMMENTS

This image is taken from Curtis's British Entomology, Plate 185, featuring the Orange Swift or Wood Swift moth, Hepialus sylvinus (now known as Hepialus sylvina), in its natural habitat. The moth is depicted gracefully perched on the leaves of Common Ladies' Mantle, Alchemilla vulgaris agg. (comprising Common Ladies' Mantle, A. vulgaris, and related species). The plate was produced during the 1820s or 1830s by the renowned English botanist and entomologist, John Curtis, FLS. The Orange Swift moth is a member of the Lepidoptera order, specifically the Hepialidae family. Its vibrant orange coloration and slender body make it a striking addition to any natural history collection. The moth's elongated wings are folded back, revealing its intricately patterned abdomen. The Common Ladies' Mantle is a popular plant in the Alchemilla genus, known for its rosette-like growth and distinctive lobed leaves. The plant's delicate, slightly furry appearance provides a beautiful contrast to the bold orange coloration of the moth. This exquisite print offers a glimpse into the natural history of the past, showcasing the intricate details of both the Orange Swift moth and the Common Ladies' Mantle. The meticulous attention to detail and exceptional quality of the plate are a testament to the dedication and expertise of John Curtis and the team behind Curtis's British Entomology.
