EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored lithograph, taken from John O. Westwood's new edition of Dru Drury's Illustrations of Exotic Entomology, published by Bohn, London in 1837, showcases an intriguing assemblage of exotic insects. The image features several species of cicadas, including the Speckled Black Cicada (Gaeana maculata, number 1) and the Platypleura Capensis (Platypleura capensis, number 2), both known for their striking appearances. Number 3, Lystra Lanata, is a cicada with a distinctive furry exoskeleton. Number 4, Andrena Thoracica, is a bee-like insect, part of the mining bee family. Number 5, Acrotelsa Collaris, is a soldier beetle, and number 6, Milesia Virginiensis, is a hoverfly. The wasps in the image include the paper wasp (Polistes annularis, number 7), as well as the wasps Acrotelsa collaris (number 5), Mutillaeformis (not labeled), and Lepisma (not labeled). The Speckled Black Cicada and Platypleura Capensis are native to the Americas, while the Lystra Lanata is found in the Mediterranean and the Middle East. The other insects in the image are native to various parts of the world, including Europe, Asia, and the Americas. This stunning illustration not only highlights the diverse and captivating beauty of these exotic insects but also serves as a testament to the remarkable natural history record kept by the scientific community during the 19th century.
