EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, dating back to 1805, showcases a charming selection of ladybirds, or lady beetles, from the Coccinella genus. The Coccinella genus is a part of the larger family Coccinellidae, which is commonly known as lady beetles or ladybugs. These insects have long been admired for their vibrant colors and distinctive spots, making them a beloved sight in gardens and natural habitats. The ladybirds depicted in this print include four distinct species: Coccinella punctata, Coccinella bipunctata, Coccinella figrina, and Coccinella punctaissima. Each species displays unique patterns and colorations on their elytra, or wing cases. The Coccinella punctata, also known as the Seven-Spot Ladybird, boasts seven black spots on its red elytra. The Coccinella bipunctata, or Two-Spot Ladybird, features two black spots on an orange background. The Coccinella figrina, or Orange Ladybird, displays an orange body with black spots along the edges of its elytra. Lastly, the Coccinella punctaissima, or Harlequin Ladybird, exhibits a striking mosaic pattern of black and orange spots. Ladybirds have a rich history, dating back to ancient times. They were first mentioned in Europe in the 13th century and have been a subject of fascination ever since. Ladybirds were often considered good luck symbols and were even used as decorative elements in art and jewelry. In the natural world, ladybirds play a crucial role as beneficial insects, preying on aphids and other soft-bodied pests that damage crops and garden plants. This beautiful print serves as a testament to the enduring allure of ladybirds and their place in our natural history. It invites us to appreciate the intricacies of nature and the beauty that can be found in the smallest of creatures.
