EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored lithograph depicts the African Deaths Head Hawkmoth (Acherontia atropos) and its host plant, the Oleander Hawk-moth (Daphnis nerii). The Deaths Head Hawkmoth, also known as the Sphinx of the Dead, is named for the distinctive skull-like markings on its thorax. The larva of this moth, shown in the lower left corner, is equally intriguing, with its long, spiny prolegs and distinctive head. The Oleander Hawk-moth, shown in the upper right corner, is a close relative and can be distinguished by its lack of skull markings. Both species are part of the Sphingidae family, also known as hawk-moths, which are known for their large size, long proboscises, and distinctive caterpillar stage. The lithograph is from "Histoire des Papillons," a natural history series dedicated to children, published in Paris in 1833 by Hippolyte and Polydor Pauquet. The meticulous attention to detail in the illustration showcases the beauty and intricacy of these moths, making it an excellent educational tool for young learners. The hand-coloring adds an additional layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true work of art. The Deaths Head Hawkmoth and Oleander Hawk-moth are both native to Africa and are important pollinators for various plants, including the oleander plant, which is toxic to most other insects. The larvae of both species feed exclusively on the leaves of their respective host plants, making them essential for their survival. This unique relationship between the moths and their host plants is just one of the many fascinating aspects of the natural world that this lithograph captures.
