EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting hand-colored copperplate engraving, taken from Friedrich Johann Bertuch's Bilderbuch fur Kinder (Picture Book for Children), published in Weimar in 1802, showcases three captivating moths: the Garden Tiger Moth (Arctia caja), the Goat Moth (Cossus cossus), and the Small Emperor Moth (Saturnia pavonia). The Garden Tiger Moth, with its distinctive orange and black wings, is a common sight in gardens and meadows across Europe. The Goat Moth, also known as the Dagger Moth, is easily recognizable by its large, hairy body and long, pointed forewings. The Small Emperor Moth, with its elegant, transparent wings adorned with golden spots, is a true beauty. The engraving also features the caterpillars and pupae of these moths, providing a fascinating glimpse into their life cycles. The Garden Tiger Moth caterpillar is striped and spiky, while the Goat Moth caterpillar is covered in long, white hairs. The pupa of the Small Emperor Moth is encased in a silken cocoon, which it spins around itself before transforming into a moth. Lepidoptera, the order to which these moths belong, is one of the most diverse and fascinating groups of insects. Entomology, the study of insects, has long been a popular pursuit among naturalists and collectors, and this beautiful engraving is a testament to the intrigue and wonder that these creatures inspire. The delicate artistry of this hand-colored copperplate engraving brings these moths to life, inviting us to appreciate their beauty and the intricacy of their natural forms. This timeless illustration remains a captivating reminder of the natural world's wonders, and a testament to the enduring appeal of entomology.
