EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Jacob L. Admiral for the second edition of "Naauwkeurige Waarneemingen omtrent de veranderingen van veele Insekten" (Accurate Descriptions of Insect Metamorphoses) published by J. Sluyter in Amsterdam in 1774, showcases the fascinating transformation of the Cinnabar moth, Tyria jacobaeae, on its host plant, Ragwort, Jacobaea vulgaris. The image captures the intricate details of the moth's larva and pupa stages, which are skillfully depicted as they camouflage themselves among the ragwort leaves. The Cinnabar moth is a striking insect with vibrant red and black wings, and its larvae and pupae are equally remarkable. The larva, often referred to as St. Jans Beestje or St. Jan's Beetle, is bright red with black spots and a distinctive white stripe down its back. The pupa, or chrysalis, is encased in a hard, red shell, which blends seamlessly with the ragwort plant. This engraving is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and scientific accuracy that characterized natural history illustrations during the 18th century. The addition of eight new plates to the second edition of "Naauwkeurige Waarneemingen omtrent de veranderingen van veele Insekten" further underscores the importance of this work in the field of entomology. The Cinnabar moth and ragwort have a unique relationship, as the larvae feed exclusively on the ragwort plant, and the adult moths are attracted to it for mating and egg-laying. This mutualistic relationship is beautifully captured in this stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving, which continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details and scientific significance.
