Illustration of a Patterned Moth - Entomology Art & Insect Identification #182429 (License: Personal Use)

This high-contrast engraved illustration depicts a moth with broad forewings marked by irregular white translucent patches and scattered dark spots, while the hindwings display dense stippling and smaller black markings. The antennae are feathery (bipectinate), suggesting a male specimen, and the body is densely covered in fine hairs, rendered with precise cross-hatching typical of 19th-century natural history prints. The image captures both anatomical accuracy and artistic craftsmanship.
