EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving by Johann Carl Bock depicts various stages of the Gypsy Moth, Lymantria dispar. The Gypsy Moth is a well-known Lepidopteran species, belonging to the family Erebidae in the order Lepidoptera. The image showcases the metamorphosis of this insect, from the adult male and female moths, to the larva, or caterpillar, and the pupa, or chrysalis. The male Gypsy Moth is depicted with a brown body, wings adorned with a distinctive pattern of orange and black zigzag lines, and a long, feathery tail. The female, on the other hand, has a wingspan that is typically larger than the male's, with a more muted coloration. Both males and females have distinctive tufts of hair on their thorax. The larva, or caterpillar, is shown with a brown body, covered in small hairs, and a distinctive pattern of blue and red spots. The larva goes through several instar stages before entering the pupa stage, where it forms a chrysalis. The Gypsy Moth is native to Europe and Asia but was accidentally introduced to North America in the late 1800s. Since then, it has become a significant pest in many parts of the United States and Canada, causing widespread defoliation of forests. This beautiful engraving is taken from Eugenius Johann Christoph Espers' Die Schmetterlinge in Abbildungen nach der Natur, published in Erlangen, Germany, in 1786. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of the engraving showcase the artistry and scientific accuracy of the time, making it a valuable addition to any collection of entomological or natural history prints.
