EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Johann Carl Bock after Eugenius Johann Christoph Espers' Die Schmetterlinge in Abbildungen nach der Natur (The Butterflies and Moths in Representations according to Nature), showcases an intriguing assembly of seven different moth species. The engraving, produced in Erlangen in 1786, features the Scarce Dagger Moth (Acronicta auricoma) in its adult form, depicted with its distinctive wings folded above its body. The Sycamore Moth (Acronicta aceris) is illustrated as a caterpillar, feeding on a leaf, while the Nutmeg Moths (Acronicta spp.) are shown in various stages of their life cycle, from larvae to pupae. The Varied Coronet Moth (Hadena compta) is displayed in its adult form, with its unique wings adorned with intricate patterns. Also included are the Merveille du Jour (Dichonia aprilina), the Moma Alpina (Mompha alpina), the Marbled Green (Cryphia muralis), the Phalaena Noctua (Phalaena noctua), and the Orion Lichenis (Griposia orion). These exquisitely detailed illustrations provide a glimpse into the natural history of these fascinating insects, showcasing their beauty and intricacy. The metamorphosis of these moths from caterpillar to adult is a testament to the wonders of nature, and this engraving serves as a captivating reminder of the diverse and intriguing world of Lepidoptera. The delicate handcolouring adds an extra layer of depth and vibrancy to the already impressive details captured by Bock, making this engraving a true masterpiece in the field of entomology.
