EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from Curtis's British Entomology, Plate 170, featuring the Lepidoptera species Eudorea murana, now identified as Scoparia scoparia. The intricately detailed illustration showcases the moth's striking appearance, with its wings adorned with intricate patterns and subtle coloration. The scientific name "Eudorea murana" was originally assigned by John Curtis in the late 1820s, but subsequent taxonomic revisions have led to the genus Eudorea being sunk, and the specific name not being check-listed. The plant depicted in the background is Saxifraga stellaris, commonly known as Hairy Saxifrage. This small, mat-forming alpine plant is native to Europe, Asia, and North America, and is characterized by its star-shaped white or pink flowers and hairy stems. The combination of the elegant moth and the delicate Saxifrage creates a beautiful and harmonious composition. John Curtis (1791-1842) was a prominent British naturalist and entomologist, who made significant contributions to the fields of entomology and mycology. He was a prolific author, publishing numerous works on various aspects of natural history, and was a founding member of the Entomological Society of London. This plate is a testament to his meticulous attention to detail and his dedication to documenting the natural world.
