EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from Curtis's British Entomology, Plate 480, featuring the Hymenopteran species Oxybelus argentatus, also known as the Argentate Leaf-cutter Wasp, and its host plant, Leontodon hispidus, commonly referred to as Rough Apargia or Hairy Apargia. The plate, published between 1824 and 1839, is a testament to the intricate details and meticulous workmanship of the 19th century's natural history illustrations. John Curtis, the esteemed botanist and entomologist, oversaw the production of this remarkable series, which showcases a diverse array of insects, primarily focusing on the Hymenoptera order, including bees, ants, and wasps. The Argentate Leaf-cutter Wasp, Oxybelus argentatus, is depicted in the act of collecting plant material to construct its nest. This solitary wasp species is native to Europe and Asia, and is characterized by its metallic silver-blue body and distinctive yellow markings. The wasp's elongated abdomen is curved in a distinctive S-shape, which is a common feature among Hymenopterans. The plant featured in the plate, Leontodon hispidus, is a low-growing, herbaceous perennial that belongs to the Daisy family. Its rough, hairy leaves provide an excellent camouflage for the wasp, making it an ideal choice for nesting sites. The plant's scientific name was previously listed as Apargia hispida, but recent taxonomic revisions have resulted in the name change. This exquisite plate, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, offers a glimpse into the rich natural history of the past and serves as a reminder of the beauty and complexity of the natural world.
