EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th century illustration showcases the magnificent Lucanus cervus, also known as the stag beetle, a large and impressive insect belonging to the family Lucanidae. Depicted in exquisite detail in Classis I Tab V of Insecten-Belustigung 1746-61, Volume 2 by August Johann Rösel von Rosenhof, this beetle is a true marvel of the natural world. The Lucanus cervus is an even-toed ungulate in the insect kingdom, belonging to the class Insecta, order Coleoptera, and family Lucanidae. Its name derives from its antler-like mandibles, which resemble the antlers of a deer, hence the common name 'stag beetle.' This illustration captures the beetle's intricate and detailed exoskeleton, with its elongated, curved mandibles, large eyes, and prominent antennae. The Lucanus cervus is a large insect, growing up to 10 centimeters in length, and is found in Europe, North America, and parts of Asia. August Johann Rösel von Rosenhof (1705-1759) was a German naturalist and entomologist who made significant contributions to the study of insects during the 18th century. His meticulous illustrations, such as this one, were instrumental in advancing the field of entomology and providing a more accurate understanding of the natural world. The Lucanus cervus is an important species in its ecosystem, playing a role in decomposition and nutrient cycling. Its large size and distinctive appearance make it a favorite among insect enthusiasts and collectors. This illustration serves as a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world, and a reminder of the important role that insects play in our ecosystems.
