EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, taken from John Curtis's seminal work "British Entomology" published between 1824 and 1839, showcases the intricate relationship between two natural wonders: the Hornbeam Cicones (Cicones carpini, now known as Cicones variegatus) and the Plantain-leaved Sand-wort (Moehringia trinervia, formerly known as Arenaria trinervis). The image, which can be found in Plate 149 of the publication, is a testament to the meticulous observation and documentation of the natural world during the 19th century. The Hornbeam Cicones, members of the beetle family Ledipteridae, are depicted in their full glory, with their elongated, curved, and variegated antennae reaching out towards the delicate Plantain-leaved Sand-wort. This plant, a member of the Stonecrop family, is shown in full bloom, its tiny, pink flowers nestled amongst its green, triangular leaves. John Curtis, the esteemed botanist and entomologist, was a pioneer in his field, and his work on British Entomology was groundbreaking for its time. This plate, in particular, offers a glimpse into the intricate interplay between insects and their plant hosts, highlighting the importance of these relationships in the natural world. The Hornbeam Cicones and Plantain-leaved Sand-wort are shown in their natural habitat, providing a window into the past and offering a reminder of the beauty and complexity of the natural world that continues to inspire and captivate us today.
