EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Johann Carl Bock after Eugenius Johann Christoph Esper's Die Schmetterlinge in Abbildungen nach der Natur (The Butterflies in Representations according to Nature), published in Erlangen in 1786, showcases two intriguing moth species: the Barred Sallow (Tileacea aurago) and the Clay Moth (Mythimna ferrago). The Barred Sallow, depicted in images one through four, is a medium-sized moth with a wingspan of around 3.5 centimeters. Its forewings are adorned with distinct, alternating light and dark bars, while its hindwings are a uniform brown color. The larvae of this species feed on various conifers, particularly pine. The Clay Moth, illustrated in images five and six, is another fascinating moth species with a wingspan of approximately 3 centimeters. Its forewings are marked with a distinctive pattern of irregular, dark spots against a light background. The larvae of the Clay Moth feed on a variety of plants, including willow and poplar. This engraving is an essential contribution to the field of entomology, showcasing the intricate details of these moths' anatomy and beauty. The metamorphosis from caterpillar to pupa to adult moth is a remarkable process that continues to captivate scientists and nature enthusiasts alike. The use of hand-coloring adds an additional layer of artistry to these already stunning creatures, making this engraving a true masterpiece of natural history.
