Red fir tree cone and moth

Studies of a pine cone, whole and in section, with details of seeds and an insect infestation. The plate shows grubs in situ and details, including a developed moth. Neither the tree species nor the insect is fully identified by Ledermuller.

Plate 64 from Amusement microscopique, tant pour l'esprit que pour les yeux, contenant... estampes... d'apres nature...by Martin Frobene Ledermuller, plates volume (Adam Wolfgang Winterschmidt, Nuremburg, 1766).

Inscribed above: ‘TAB.LXIV.’

The accompanying text is headed: ‘Table LXIV. & LXV. La Graine du Sapin-rouge & la Chenille, qui la détruit, avec sa Métamorphose en Tigne.’ [The seed of the red fir & the caterpillar, which destroys it, metamorphosising into a moth].

Martin Frobene [Frobenius] Ledermuller (1719-1769) German naturalist was employed in various capacities as a notary, turning to microscope studies after an illness induced temporary deafness.
