EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning image is taken from Curtis's British Entomology, Plate 117, featuring the Lepidoptera species Achatea spreta, now commonly known as Panolis flammea. The plate, which dates back to the 1820s-1830s, was produced during the 19th century by renowned British naturalist and entomologist John Curtis FLS. The intricately detailed illustration showcases the adult form of this beautiful moth, with its vibrant orange and black wings adorned with intricate patterns. At the time of this illustration, Achatea spreta was known as the "Pine-destroying Noctua" or "Pine Beauty," reflecting its dual role as both a captivating insect and a potential threat to pine forests. The moth's larvae, or caterpillars, feed on various pine species, making it an important member of the forest ecosystem. John Curtis's meticulous work captures the essence of this fascinating creature, providing an invaluable record of the natural world during the early 19th century. The plate is a testament to Curtis's dedication to documenting the diverse range of Lepidoptera species found in Britain and his significant contributions to the field of entomology. This image, with its rich history and scientific importance, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the beauty and intrigue of the natural world as it was discovered and documented over two centuries ago.
