EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning image is taken from Curtis's British Entomology, Plate 761, featuring the Diptera species Lonchoptera flavicauda and Lonchoptera lutea, commonly known as Hoverflies. The plate, published between 1824 and 1839, was produced by the renowned English botanical artist John Curtis FLS. The intricately detailed illustration showcases the flies' distinctive features, with L. flavicauda displaying a golden-yellow abdomen and L. lutea boasting a yellow thorax and black stripes on its abdomen. The accompanying plant in the illustration is identified as Cucubalus baccifer, also known as the Berry Catchfly. This plant is native to Europe and Asia and is characterized by its sticky, bright red berries which attract various insects, including the Lonchoptera species. The 19th century was a time of great advancement in the fields of botany and entomology, and Curtis's British Entomology was a significant contribution to the scientific community. The work was produced during the height of the Industrial Revolution, a period when there was a growing interest in the natural world and a desire to document and classify new discoveries. This beautiful and intricately detailed print offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the exquisite artistry and scientific precision of the time. It is a testament to the importance of preserving natural history records and the beauty of the natural world.
