EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 42 from Illustrations of British Butterflies and Their Larvae, with the Plants on Which They Feed, features the captivating image of the Cyaniris semiargus, commonly known as the Mazarine Blue butterfly. This exquisite illustration is taken from Theo Johnson's seminal work, published in 1892. The Cyaniris semiargus is a small, gossamer-winged butterfly belonging to the Lycaenidae family, also known as the blues or coppers. With its iridescent blue wings adorned with black spots, this invertebrate is a true marvel of the natural world. The intricately detailed drawing showcases the delicate beauty of the butterfly's wings, as well as the subtle brown and green hues of its larva, or caterpillar. As an essential reference for entomologists, naturalists, and enthusiasts, Johnson's work provides a comprehensive record of the various stages of the life cycle of British butterflies, along with the plants on which they feed. This illustration of the Mazarine Blue butterfly, in particular, highlights the importance of understanding the interconnected relationships between different species and their habitats. Theo Johnson's meticulous attention to detail and dedication to documenting the natural world make this image an invaluable addition to any collection focused on British wildlife or the study of Lepidoptera. As an archivist or researcher, this illustration offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing insights into the natural history of the Mazarine Blue butterfly and its role within the broader ecosystem.
