EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Johann Carl Bock for Eugenius Johann Christoph Espers' Die Schmetterlinge in Abbildungen nach der Natur (The Butterflies in Representations according to Nature), published in Erlangen in 1786, showcases two exquisite moths, the Pebble Prominent (Notodonta ziczac) and the Iron Prominent (Notodonta dromedarius). The intricate details of their delicate wings, veined and adorned with varying shades of brown and white, are expertly captured in this beautiful artwork. The Pebble Prominent, also known as the Muslin Footman or Oak Eggar, is a medium-sized moth with a wingspan of around 40-50mm. The female is depicted with a more rounded abdomen than the male, which is shown with a distinctly pointed one. The larvae of this species feed on various oak species, and the pupa is encased in a silken cocoon. The Iron Prominent, also known as the Nudaria Mundana or Quercus Quercifolia, is a larger moth with a wingspan of up to 70mm. Both the male and female have a distinctive, elongated abdomen. The caterpillars of this species feed on various deciduous trees, such as oak, beech, and hazel. The metamorphosis of these moths from caterpillar to adult is a fascinating process, which involves four stages: egg, larva, pupa, and imago. This engraving provides a captivating glimpse into the natural world, showcasing the beauty and intricacy of these Lepidoptera species. The artwork also includes various other insects, such as the Lasiocampa Quercifolia, a moth with a striking orange and black wings, and the Geometra moth, which is depicted in its pupa stage. This engraving is a testament to the natural history expertise of its creator and the beauty of the insect world.
