This chromolithograph, "The Senitorial Dryocampa" from the "Butterflies and Moths of America" series by Louis Prang & Co., was created between 1862 and 1869. The card features a detailed illustration of a Senitorial Dryocampa moth, showcasing its vibrant red wings, yellow body, and delicate markings. A single yellow flower with a green stem adds a touch of botanical interest to the composition, complementing the intricate detail of the moth.
