EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored steel engraving showcases three stunning underwing moths: the Blue Underwing (Catocala fraxini), Red Underwing (Catocala nupta), and Dark Crimson Underwing (Catocala sponsa). The intricate details of their delicate wings are beautifully captured in this artwork, which was created by the Pauquet brothers based on an illustration by Alexis Nicolas Noel for Hippolyte Lucas' Natural History of European Butterflies, published in 1864. The Blue Underwing, also known as the Common Underwing, is easily recognizable by its vibrant blue-gray wings, which have a striking pattern of black veins. The Red Underwing, on the other hand, boasts bold red wings with intricate black markings, while the Dark Crimson Underwing displays deep red wings with a distinctive black border and a striking yellow dot in the middle of each wing. Underwings are a group of moths in the family Noctuidae, characterized by their hindwings, which are typically camouflaged with cryptic markings that resemble dead leaves or twigs. This adaptation helps them blend in with their surroundings and avoid detection from predators. The Pauquet brothers, known for their exceptional skill in steel engraving, expertly brought Noel's illustrations to life in this stunning print. The intricate details and vibrant colors capture the essence of these beautiful moths, making this a must-have for any nature enthusiast or collector of historical scientific illustrations.
