EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored stipple engraving, titled "Spanish Fly, Wasp Beetle, and Long-horn Beetles," is a captivating display of various beetle species from the extensive collection of Charles Malos' "Les Insectes," published in Paris in 1820. The intricate illustration was created by the skilled engraver Pancrace Bessa. The image showcases an array of beetle species, including the Spanish fly beetle, Lytta vesicatoria (1), and the wasp beetle, Clytus arietis (2). The Spanish fly beetle, also known as the blister beetle, is infamous for the toxic secretion it releases when disturbed, which can cause blisters and severe irritation. The wasp beetle, on the other hand, is named for its resemblance to a wasp due to its long, pointed abdomen. Three long-horn beetle species are also depicted: Altica equinoctialis (3), Clytra quadripunctata (4), and Chlorida festiva (5). Long-horn beetles are characterized by their elongated antennae, which can be longer than their body length. The Chlorida festiva, also known as the green longicorn, is a vibrant, metallic green beetle. The remaining beetles in the illustration are: Trachyderes succinctus (6), Galeruca furcata bicolor (not numbered), Galeruca analis (not numbered), Galeruca donacie (not numbered), Aulacophora rayee (not numbered), Cyclotrypema vittata (not numbered), Cucujus clavipes (not numbered), Pyrrhidium sanguineum (not numbered), Chlorophorus varius (not numbered), and Callidium ornatum (not numbered). This stunning work of art showcases the intricate details and diverse beauty of these insects, providing a glimpse into the natural world of the early 19th century. The hand-colored stipple engraving technique adds an additional layer of depth and texture to the illustration, making it a valuable addition to any entomology or natural history collection.
