EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from Curtis's British Entomology, Plate 430, featuring the Black-and-red Hypophlaeus, scientifically known as Hypophlaeus bicolor or Corticeus bicolor. The intricately detailed beetle is depicted gracefully perched on the delicate white petals of Convallaria majalis, commonly known as Lily of the Valley. The plate, which is part of the extensive work by John Obadiah Westwood and William Kirby, was published between 1824 and 1839. The Black-and-red Hypophlaeus is a small, elongated beetle with an impressive, vibrant coloration. The species is characterized by its black body with red markings, which can be seen clearly in this illustration. The beetle's long antennae and slender legs are also evident in the image, adding to its striking appearance. The Lily of the Valley plant, with its elegant white flowers and distinctive bell-shaped blooms, provides a beautiful contrast to the bold colors of the Black-and-red Hypophlaeus. This plant, native to Europe and Asia, is well-known for its sweet fragrance and was often used in traditional medicine. This entomological plate showcases the exquisite detail and accuracy of the illustrations produced during the 19th century. The intricate depiction of both the beetle and the plant highlights the importance of natural history in the scientific exploration of the natural world during this period.
