EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from Plate 46 of the seminal work "Metamorphosis Insectorum Surinamensium" by the renowned naturalist Maria Sibylla Merian. The photograph features a green caterpillar of the Erinnyis ello species, also known as the Hawk Moth Caterpillar, and its adult form, the E. ello Sphinx Moth or the Coral Hairstreak Hawk Moth. The scene unfolds on the lush foliage of the Royal Jasmine, scientifically known as Jasminum grandiflorum, a flowering plant belonging to the asterid clade within the dicotyledonous angiosperms. The adult moth, with its striking wings adorned with intricate patterns, rests on a branch, while its former self, the caterpillar, is seen feeding on the delicate white flowers of the jasmine plant. The Erinnyis ello is a member of the Sphingidae family, commonly known as hawk moths, which are characterized by their large size and long proboscis. The caterpillar, on the other hand, is a hexapod arthropod, part of the Diapsida class, and is covered in distinctive green and black markings. In the background, a coral snake, Corallus enhydris, can be seen coiled around a branch. This elapid snake is a venomous member of the Caenophidia suborder and is known for its vibrant colors and intricate patterns. The presence of the snake adds an extra layer of intrigue to this already fascinating scene, highlighting the complex interplay between various organisms within their natural habitat. This image is a testament to Merian's groundbreaking work in documenting the metamorphosis of insects and the intricate relationships between different species within their ecosystems. It continues to inspire and captivate audiences with its stunning visuals and invaluable scientific insights.
