Butterfly Journal — El Tesoro de la Juventud Death's-Head Hawkmoth Lepidoptera Plate 18 Species

El Tesoro de la Juventud — the beloved early 20th-century Spanish encyclopedia — united eighteen species of butterflies and moths from five continents onto a single dramatic plate, anchored by the legendary Acherontia atropos, the Death’s-Head Hawkmoth whose skull-like thorax pattern has fascinated naturalists and artists for centuries. Presented on a vibrant turquoise-green background, the plate assembles the Paradise Birdwing of New Guinea (Ornithoptera paradisea), the Blood-red Glider of Central Africa (Cymothoe sangaris), the Luna Moth of North America (Actias luna), the Atlas Moth (Attacus atlas), the Purple Emperor (Apatura iris), the electric Morpho cypris, and twelve further species — a full wraparound design spanning European meadows, African rainforests, and the remote highlands of New Guinea.
