EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, dating back to 1898, showcases an enchanting assembly of Sphingidae, Thyrididae, and Sesiidae species, including Macroglossa Stellatarum, Macroglossa Croatica, Hemaris Bombyliformis, Hemaris Fuciformis, Thyris Fenestrella, Trochilium Apiformis, Trochilium Crabroniformis, Sesia Tipuliformis, Sesia Conopiformis, Sesia Asiliformis, Sesia Culiciformis, Sesia Stomoxyformis, Sesia Formicaeformis, Sesia Empiformis, Bembecia Hylaeiformis, and their stunningly intricate wing patterns. The insects are depicted perched on the branches of Red Currant (Ribes Rubrum), Common Honeysuckle (Lonicera Xylosteum), and Goosegrass (Galium Aparine), adding a burst of vibrant colors to the scene. The late Victorian era, with its fascination for natural history, is brought to life through this illustration. The Sphingidae, Thyrididae, and Sesiidae are all families of moths and butterflies, known for their large size and long proboscises. Their markings, which range from bold and geometric to delicate and intricate, are a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world. This illustration offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the rich biodiversity of the late 1800s. The Red Currant, Common Honeysuckle, and Goosegrass, which serve as the backdrop for this scene, are common plants that can still be found in many parts of the world today. This illustration is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical record of the natural world as it was known over a century ago.
