EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Johann Carl Bock in 1786, showcases two intriguing moth species: the Scarce Hook-tip (Phalaena bombyx harpagula) and the Pebble Hook-tip (Drepana falcataria). The Scarce Hook-tip, depicted in the first two images, is also known as the Oak Hook-tip or the Barred Hook-tip, and can be identified by its distinctive hooked forewings and orange-brown body with black markings. The larvae of this species feed on various oak species, undergoing full metamorphosis to become adult moths. The Pebble Hook-tip, displayed in images three through six, is also known as the Sicilian Hook-tip or the Pebbled Hook-tip, and is characterized by its hooked forewings, which are adorned with a series of small, white spots. The moth's body is a pale brown color with darker markings. The larvae of this species feed on a variety of plants, including willows and poplars. Both of these moths undergo complete metamorphosis, transforming from caterpillars to pupae and eventually to adult moths. The intricate details of their wings and bodies are beautifully captured in this engraving, providing a stunning representation of these fascinating insects. This artwork is taken from Eugenius Johann Christoph Espers' Die Schmetterlinge in Abbildungen nach der Natur, published in Erlangen in 1786. The meticulous attention to detail and the high-quality hand-coloring make this engraving a valuable addition to any collection of entomological or scientific illustrations.
