EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning image is a reproduction of Curtis British Entomology Plate 571, featuring the Short-barred Grey Marble butterfly, Apotomis semifasciana (previously known as Paedisca semifasciana), in its natural habitat among black currants, Ribes nigrum. The plate is part of the comprehensive collection of John Curtis's seminal work, published between 1824 and 1839. The meticulously detailed illustration showcases the intricate beauty of this Lepidopteran species, with its short, grey wings adorned with distinct, semi-circular black bars. The scientific accuracy of the illustration is a testament to the skill and dedication of the entomological community during the 19th century. The Short-barred Grey Marble butterfly is a native of Europe, Asia, and North Africa, and can be found in various habitats including forests, gardens, and meadows. The presence of black currants in the image not only adds to the aesthetic appeal but also highlights the important role that plants play in the life cycle of these fascinating insects. This print is a must-have for any collector of historical entomological records or those with an appreciation for the natural world.
