EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by the skilled hands of Richard Polydore Nodder and published in George Shaw and Frederick Nodder's The Naturalist's Miscellany in 1803, showcases the various stages of the life cycle of the Regal Moth, Citheronia regalis. The Regal Moth, also known as the Persimmon Moth or the Royal Moth, is a large and striking Lepidopteran species native to Central and South America. The illustration captivates the viewer with its intricate detail, revealing the beauty and complexity of this magnificent creature. The top portion of the print depicts the adult Regal Moth, its wings outstretched in a regal display of iridescent colors. The lower portion of the print reveals the transformation that occurs during the moth's metamorphosis. On the left, the caterpillar, or larva, can be seen with its distinctive orange and black stripes, feeding on the leaves of a persimmon tree. On the right, the pupa, or chrysalis, is shown encased in a protective cocoon, ready to transform into the adult moth. The Regal Moth is a fascinating example of the natural world's intricate design, and this illustration serves as a testament to the beauty and wonder of the Lepidoptera order. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of hand-coloring techniques add to the print's allure, making it a valuable addition to any collection of natural history or entomology.
