Hello: I have 17th century Dutch drawings with several insects, that are all named butterflies. They are clearly moths and other insects too. Would anyone be so kind to help me identify all the insects in the drawing? I would be very grateful. In the seventeenth century, the Dutch traded primarily with the far east (Indonesia etc.) but rare insects were collected and studied by artists. I would not only be interested in the name of species but also the country of origin if possible.
With many thanks for all your help!
