EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph showcases an enchanting assembly of exotic moths, meticulously illustrated from nature and published in John O. Westwood's new edition of Dru Drury's Illustrations of Exotic Entomology in 1837. The intricately detailed image features six distinct species, each displaying their unique and mesmerizing characteristics. At the center, the majestic Cecropia moth, Hyalophora cecropia, with its wingspans reaching up to 15 cm, is depicted in all its glory. The Limacodes arenacea moth, represented by the specimen on the left, is characterized by its striking yellow and black stripes. The Arge tiger moth, Grammia arge, can be seen in the upper right corner, boasting its vibrant orange and black wings. The Fall webworm, Hyphantria cunea, is illustrated in the bottom left corner, with its distinctive white markings on its wings. The Goldenrod flower moth, Schinia nundina, is depicted in the bottom right corner, blending in beautifully with the goldenrod flower it is often found near. The Limacodes arenacea moth is a subject of some taxonomic debate, and its identification in this image is uncertain. Regardless, this exquisite collection of moths is a testament to the natural world's beauty and diversity, captured in stunning detail over 180 years ago.
