EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of four different species of rove beetles: Staphylinus erythrurus, Xantholinus fulgidus, Bolitobius atricapillus, and Zirophorus exaratus. The handcoloured steel engraving by William Lizars brings these fascinating creatures to life with remarkable detail. Originally featured in James Duncan's "Natural History of Beetles" within Sir William Jardine's esteemed "Naturalists Library" this artwork is a testament to the meticulous scientific illustration prevalent in the 19th century. James Duncan, a Scottish zoologist and entomologist, dedicated his life to studying insects and their diverse habitats. Each beetle depicted in this print possesses its own unique characteristics and charm. From the vibrant red hue of Staphylinus erythrurus to the iridescent shine of Xantholinus fulgidus, these beetles captivate viewers with their intricate patterns and colors. The inclusion of Bolitobius atricapillus and Zirophorus exaratus adds further depth to this composition. These rove beetles are known for their distinct behaviors; Bolitobius atricapillus is commonly referred to as an oil beetle due to its secretion capabilities while Zirophorus exaratus earned its nickname sexton beetle for its role as nature's undertaker. Through this stunning photograph print, we gain insight into the world of coleopterology -the study of beetles- allowing us to appreciate both their aesthetic appeal and ecological significance. This artwork serves as a reminder that even seemingly small creatures can hold great importance within our natural world.
