EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph, taken from the new edition of Dru Drury's Illustrations of Exotic Entomology published by Bohn in London in 1837, showcases a captivating collection of exotic insects. The illustration features six distinct species, each displayed both in their natural size and magnified for a closer look. In the foreground, the Jewel Bug, Poecilocoris druraei, can be seen in its vibrant, iridescent glory. With its elongated body and distinctive markings, this bug is a true marvel of nature. The Galerita americana, or the American Jewel Beetle, is depicted in the middle, displaying its metallic green and blue exoskeleton. The Snout Weevil, Brenthus minutus, is shown in its magnified form, revealing the intricate details of its elongated snout and antennae. The Casnonia longicollis, or Long-necked Weevil, is also magnified, showcasing its unique, elongated neck and head. The smaller insects in the illustration include two additional beetles: the Galerita americana and the Poecilocoris druraei. The Galerita americana, with its metallic green and blue exoskeleton, is shown in its natural size, while the Jewel Bug, Poecilocoris druraei, is displayed both in its natural size and magnified to reveal the intricacies of its iridescent body. This exquisite lithograph, handcoloured by skilled artists, offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of exotic insects during the 19th century. With its meticulous attention to detail and stunning visuals, it remains an invaluable resource for entomologists and nature enthusiasts alike.
