EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored steel engraving, created by the Pauquet brothers and based on an original illustration by Alexis Nicolas Noel for Hippolyte Lucas's "Histoire Naturelle des Lepidopteres d'Europe" (Natural History of European Butterflies and Moths), showcases three fascinating moth species: the Buff-tip (Phalera bucephala), the Poplar Lappet (Gastropacha populifolia), and the Lappet Moth (Gastropacha quercifolia). The Buff-tip, also known as the White-marked Tussock Moth, is a medium-sized moth with a wingspan of around 3.5 centimeters. Its forewings have a buff-colored base with black tips and white markings, while its hindwings are grayish-brown. The Buff-tip is commonly found in Europe and North America and is known for its distinctive appearance and the distinctive tufts of hair on its thorax. The Poplar Lappet, also called the Poplar Hawk Moth, is a large moth with a wingspan of up to 7 centimeters. Its forewings are grayish-brown with distinctive white lappets or patches, while its hindwings are grayish-brown with a black border. The Poplar Lappet is found in Europe and Asia and is attracted to poplar trees, where it lays its eggs. The Lappet Moth, also known as the Oak Beauty or the Waved Lappet, is a medium-sized moth with a wingspan of around 4 centimeters. Its forewings are grayish-brown with distinctive white lappets or patches and a wavy edge, while its hindwings are grayish-brown with a black border. The Lappet Moth is found in Europe and North America and is attracted to oak trees, where it lays its eggs. This beautiful and intricate engraving not only showcases the unique beauty of these moths but also provides a glimpse into the natural history of Europe during the late 19th century. The attention to detail and the use of hand-coloring enhance the naturalistic representation of these fascinating insects, making this a valuable addition to any collection of natural history prints.
