EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from John Curtis's seminal work, "British Entomology," specifically Plate 319, which features the Coleoptera species Opatrum tibiale, now more commonly known as Melanimon tibiale, or the Little Opatrum. The intricately detailed beetle is depicted gracefully perched on an unidentified plant, believed to be Peltidea canina, also known as Ash-coloured Ground Liverwort. The plate, which dates back to the 1820s-1830s, is a testament to the meticulous work of naturalist John Curtis and the skilled artistry of the illustrators of his time. Curtis's "British Entomology" was a groundbreaking publication that showcased the diverse range of insects found in Britain during the 19th century. The work, which spanned over 100 plates, was published between 1824 and 1839 and remains an invaluable resource for entomologists and natural historians today. The Coleoptera order, to which Opatrum tibiale belongs, is the largest order of insects, with over 350,000 known species. This beetle, with its distinctive elongated body and patterned wings, is just one of the many fascinating creatures that can be found within this vast order. The Little Opatrum is a relatively small beetle, measuring only around 5-6 mm in length. It is found throughout Europe and is typically associated with damp habitats, such as marshes and woodlands. The species is known to feed on a variety of plant materials, including fungi and algae. This beautiful and intricately detailed print offers a glimpse into the natural world of the past and serves as a reminder of the importance of documenting and preserving the natural history of our planet.
