EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts the Dark Tussock Moth, Dicallomera fascelina, also known as Bombyx fascelina, Peridea anceps, Trepida fascelina, or Carlia bock. The Dark Tussock Moth is a beautiful and prominent Lepidopteran species, belonging to the family Bombycidae. This moth is native to Europe, North Africa, and Asia, and is characterized by its dark, tussock-like tufts of hair on its thorax and abdomen. The intricate detail of this engraving, created by the skilled hand of Johan Georg Sturm for Eugenius Johann Christoph Espers' Die Schmetterlinge in Abbildungen nach der Natur, published in Erlangen in 1786, showcases the moth's delicate wings, which are adorned with intricate patterns and shades of brown and gold. The larva, or caterpillar, of the Dark Tussock Moth is also depicted in the image, with its distinctive orange and black stripes and spiny prolegs. The Dark Tussock Moth undergoes complete metamorphosis, transforming from a caterpillar to a pupa, and then to an adult moth. This process, which is common among insects, is a fascinating aspect of the natural world and has long been a subject of fascination for entomologists and naturalists. The Dark Tussock Moth is an important species within its ecosystem, serving as a food source for various predators, including birds and insects. Its larvae feed on the leaves of various trees, such as oak, beech, and willow, making it an essential part of the forest food chain. This beautiful and intricately detailed engraving not only showcases the natural beauty of the Dark Tussock Moth but also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and protecting the delicate balance of ecosystems and the diverse array of species that inhabit them.
