EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning illustration, dated 1898, showcases an enchanting assembly of Hadenidae, Ophiusidae, and Brephidae moths and butterflies, each with their unique and intricate markings. The Hadenidae family is represented by Mormo Maura, with its bold orange and black wings adorned with a distinctive white 'M' marking. Catephia Alchymista, a member of the Ophiusidae family, flaunts its iridescent green and gold wings, while the Brephidae family is showcased by Brephos Parthenias, with its delicate, translucent wings. The moths and butterflies are depicted in their natural habitat, perched gracefully on branches of various plants. Among them are the Oak tree (Quercus pedunculata), with its distinctive acorns, Osier (Salix viminalis), Sloe (Prunus spinosa), and Blackthorn (Prunus spinosa). These plants, native to Europe, were commonly found in the late Victorian era, adding to the historical significance of this illustration. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the moths and butterflies, as well as the lush foliage of the plants, make this a captivating work of art. The illustration provides a glimpse into the natural world of the late 1890s, offering a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of European flora and fauna. This illustration is a testament to the beauty and intricacy of nature, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and appreciating the natural world.
