Compiled in the late 16th century by Moffett, who 'travelled extensively in Europe and kept copious notes of his observations on insects. These he published in the above folio, together with many excellent woodcut illustrations. To date, this was the best work of its kind and it set a new standard of accuracy in the study of the invertebrates. An English translation, Theater of Insects, appeared in 1658' (Garrison & Morton).Moffet is often mistakenly said to have used a microscope in his observations, but in fact made the highly accurate woodcuts with the naked eye. Sir Theodore Turquet de Mayerne published the work posthumously from the manuscript, which is preserved today in the British Library. The illustration of the American Swallowtail on p 98 is the first printed representation of an American butterfly. There are three variant imprints, but these variants do not indicate a chronology, simply that the edition was shared among booksellers.
