This high-resolution vintage engraving depicts the adult Luna moth (Actias luna), a North American silkmoth, with fully extended wings revealing large eyespots on fore- and hindwings and long, tapering tails. Below the adult is its pupa, showing segmented body structure and protective casing typical of Saturniidae. The fine cross-hatching technique highlights texture and anatomical detail, characteristic of 19th-century natural history publications.
