EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning image is taken from Curtis's British Entomology, Plate 603, featuring the Electra albocrenata, now known as Electrophaes corylata, or the Durham Carpet moth. The Lepidopteran species is depicted in intricate detail, with its wings spread wide, revealing the intricate patterns and vibrant colors that characterize this moth. The plant accompanying the moth is Pinguicula grandiflora, also known as the Large-flowered Butterwort, a carnivorous plant native to Europe and North America. Dating back to the 1820s and 1830s, this plate is a testament to the remarkable natural history illustrations produced during the 19th century. The work is attributed to John Fleming and is part of a larger collection of plates produced by the renowned British publisher, Edward Sachs. The meticulous attention to detail and the high-quality production techniques employed during this period are evident in the crisp lines and vivid colors of this print. The Electra albocrenata, or Durham Carpet moth, is a nocturnal species that is commonly found in wooded areas, particularly in the vicinity of oak trees. The moth's wingspan can reach up to 5 centimeters, and its wings are adorned with intricate patterns of brown, orange, and white. The Large-flowered Butterwort, on the other hand, is a carnivorous plant that derives its nutrients from insects and other small invertebrates. Its large, colorful flowers attract a variety of insects, making it an essential component of the ecosystem. This print not only showcases the beauty of these two fascinating organisms but also provides a glimpse into the rich natural history of the past. The intricate details and high-quality production techniques make this a must-have for any collection of natural history prints or for those with an interest in entomology and botany.
