EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from Curtis's British Entomology, Plate 378, featuring the Scarce Vapourer moth, Orgyia gonostigma, with its host plant, Berberis vulgaris, commonly known as Barberry. The plate, published between 1824 and 1839, is part of the extensive work by the renowned English botanist and entomologist, John Curtis, FLS. The Scarce Vapourer, also known as Orgyia antiqua, is a beautiful moth belonging to the Lepidoptera family, specifically the Noctuidae subfamily. The Scarce Vapourer is a striking creature, with its wings adorned with intricate patterns of brown, orange, and white. The moth's wingspan measures approximately 5 centimeters, making it a relatively small species. The Scarce Vapourer is native to Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia, and its larvae feed on various species of Berberis, including the Barberry plant depicted in the image. The Barberry plant is an evergreen shrub with thorny stems and yellow or red berries. It is widely distributed throughout Europe, Asia, and North America and is known for its medicinal properties. The plant's berries have been used for centuries to treat various ailments, including diarrhea, dysentery, and gastrointestinal issues. The intricate relationship between the Scarce Vapourer and the Barberry plant is beautifully captured in this exquisite plate from Curtis's British Entomology. The meticulous attention to detail and the high-quality illustration make this a valuable addition to any collection of natural history prints. This image offers a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the 19th century and the fascinating world of Lepidoptera.
