EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from Curtis's British Entomology, Plate 45, featuring the Starwort Shark moth, Cucullia asteris, and its host plant, Common Golden-rod, Solidago virgaurea. Dated between 1824 and 1839, this exquisite plate is a testament to the intricate detail and accuracy of natural history illustration during the 19th century. The Starwort Shark moth, aptly named for its distinctive markings resembling the dorsal fins of a shark, is a member of the Lepidoptera order, specifically the family Noctuidae. The moth is depicted gracefully perched on the golden-yellow blooms of the Common Golden-rod, a plant native to Europe, Asia, and North America. The delicate interplay between the moth's dark, patterned wings and the vibrant golden hues of the plant create a stunning visual contrast. John Curtis, FLS, was a prominent British naturalist and botanist who dedicated his life to the study and documentation of the natural world. His meticulous work on British Entomology, published between 1825 and 1843, remains an essential reference for the study of British insects. The plates in this series were produced under his supervision and are renowned for their exceptional quality and detail. This particular plate, illustrating the Starwort Shark moth and Common Golden-rod, showcases the remarkable beauty and intricacy of the natural world, as well as the skill and dedication of the natural history illustrators of the time. The interdependence of the moth and its host plant is a poignant reminder of the delicate balance that exists within the natural world.
