EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning image is taken from Curtis's British Entomology, a seminal work in the field of entomology published between 1824 and 1839. Plate 358, featuring the Orange-spotted Diaperis beetle (Diaperis boleti) and the All-seed plant (Radiola linoides, formerly known as Radiola millegrana), is a captivating representation of the natural world during the 19th century. The Orange-spotted Diaperis beetle, a member of the family Lamiidae within the order Coleoptera, is depicted gracefully perched on the All-seed plant. The beetle's vibrant orange spots and intricate wing patterns make it a striking specimen, while the All-seed plant, with its delicate white flowers and feathery seed heads, adds a touch of elegance to the composition. John Curtis, FLS, the esteemed English botanist and entomologist, was responsible for the creation of this exquisite plate. His meticulous attention to detail and dedication to documenting the natural world are evident in the high-quality illustrations that were produced as part of this groundbreaking work. The Orange-spotted Diaperis beetle and All-seed plant were both important subjects of study during the 1820s and 1830s, and their inclusion in Curtis's British Entomology served to advance scientific knowledge of these species and their interactions within the natural world. This image is a testament to the beauty and complexity of nature, as well as the importance of documentation and exploration during the 19th century.
