EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from Curtis's British Entomology, Plate 635, featuring the Satellites Moth, Scopelosoma satellitia, now known as Eupsilia transversa. The moth is depicted in intricate detail, its wings spread wide against the backdrop of Hairy Rock-cress, Arabis hirsuta. The Satellites Moth is a member of the Lepidoptera order, which includes butterflies and moths. John Curtis, FLS, produced this exquisite plate between 1824 and 1839. The Satellites Moth is a striking creature, with its wings adorned with intricate patterns and markings. The moth's wingspan measures around 3.5 centimeters, making it a relatively small species. The Satellites Moth is native to Europe and Asia, and can be found in various habitats, including gardens, forests, and meadows. The plant depicted in the plate is Hairy Rock-cress, Arabis hirsuta. This small, herbaceous plant is native to Europe and Asia, and is characterized by its hairy stems and leaves, as well as its bright yellow flowers. Hairy Rock-cress is a popular plant in gardens, and is often used as a food source for various insects, including the Satellites Moth. This beautiful plate is a testament to the meticulous work of John Curtis and the importance of natural history in the 19th century. The intricate details captured in the image provide a glimpse into the natural world of over 180 years ago, and serve as a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the natural world.
