EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored steel engraving, created by the Pauquet brothers and based on an illustration by Alexis Nicolas Noel for Hippolyte Lucas's "Histoire Naturelle des Lepidopteres d'Europe" (Natural History of European Butterflies) published in 1864, showcases three stunning species of hawk moths: the Seathorn hawk-moth (Hyles hippophaes), the Dusky hawkmoth (Hyles vespertilio), and the Spurge hawkmoth (Hyles euphorbiae). The Seathorn hawk-moth, also known as the Hippophae Hawk-moth, is depicted on the left with its distinctive long, curved proboscis. This moth is named for the sea buckthorn shrub, on which it feeds. The Dusky hawkmoth, also called the Bat Hawk-moth, is shown in the middle. Its wings have a dark, mottled appearance, which provides excellent camouflage against tree bark. The Spurge hawkmoth, located on the right, is easily identified by its bright yellow hindwings, which contrast sharply with its brown forewings. These hawk moths are not true hawks, but their large size and powerful flight make them appear hawk-like. They are also known for their long proboscises, which they use to feed on the nectar of flowers. The Pauquet brothers' meticulous engraving captures the intricate details of these moths' wings, bodies, and antennae, making this a beautiful and educational piece of natural history art.
