EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph, taken from John O. Westwood's new edition of Dru Drury's Illustrations of Exotic Entomology, published by Bohn in London in 1837, showcases the captivating beauty of two distinct species of butterflies: the Regal Fritillary (Speyeria idalia) and the Fiery Skipper (Hylephila phyleus). The Regal Fritillary is depicted in both its male and female forms. The female Regal Fritillary, shown in the first, third, and fifth images, displays a more subdued coloration, with a brownish-orange wing base that transitions to a pattern of black spots and white veins. In contrast, the male Regal Fritillary, pictured in the second and fourth images, boasts vibrant orange wings with black spots and a distinctive row of white dots along the leading edge of the forewings. The Fiery Skipper, represented in the fourth and fifth images, is a smaller butterfly with bright orange wings and black spots along the leading edge of the forewings. Its underside, shown in the fifth image, is a striking contrast with its dorsal side, featuring a pattern of black and orange spots. Both the Regal Fritillary and the Fiery Skipper are part of the Lepidoptera order, specifically the Nymphalidae and Hesperiidae families, respectively. The Regal Fritillary is native to North America, while the Fiery Skipper is found primarily in the eastern United States and parts of Central America. This exquisite lithograph, produced during the 19th century, showcases the intricate details and vibrant colors of these fascinating insects, offering a glimpse into the natural world of over 180 years ago.
