EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely detailed hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the Great Prominent Moth, Peridea anceps, also known as Bombyx trepida. The image, created by the skilled hand of Johann Carl Bock for Eugenius Johann Christoph Espers' Die Schmetterlinge in Abbildungen nach der Natur published in Erlangen, Germany, in 1786, captures the moth's intricate features in stunning accuracy. The Great Prominent Moth belongs to the family Nymphalidae, order Lepidoptera, and is characterized by its large size, with a wingspan reaching up to 10 centimeters. The moth's wings are adorned with intricate patterns of black, white, and blue, with a distinct blue head and thorax. The species has several subspecies, including Peridea diloba, Caeruleocephala, and Swallow, among others. The moth undergoes complete metamorphosis, transforming from a caterpillar, or larva, to a pupa, and eventually to an adult moth. The caterpillar, not shown in this image, is characterized by its long, slender body and distinctive markings. The moth's larva feeds on various plants, including the leaves of the Drymonia velitaris and Dictaea species. The Great Prominent Moth is a fascinating example of the natural world's intricacy and beauty, captured in this stunning 18th-century engraving. The meticulous attention to detail in this work of art is a testament to the passion and dedication of the entomologist and the artist, allowing us to appreciate the wonders of nature in all its complexity.
