EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely handcolored copperplate engraving showcases the Autumnal Acarus, or Harvest Bug, Acarus autumnalis, in its vibrant scarlet hue. The intricately detailed illustration is taken from George Shaw and Frederick Nodder's "The Naturalist's Miscellany," published in the year 1800. The Autumnal Acarus, also known as the Scarlet Mite or the Trombicula polydora, is a larval stage of a mite that belongs to the family Eriophyidae. This tiny arachnid is a common pest found in various parts of the world, particularly during the autumn season. The adult form of this mite is barely visible to the naked eye, but the brightly colored larval stage is easily distinguishable. The Autumnal Acarus is known for its unique life cycle. The larvae hatch from eggs in the spring and feed on various plant species during their first instar stage. However, during the autumn season, they undergo a remarkable transformation. They develop bright red coloration and attach themselves to ripe fruits, such as grapes or cherries, where they feed on the sugary exudate produced by the fruit. This bright coloration serves as a warning signal to potential predators, indicating the toxicity of the larvae. This beautiful and historically significant illustration provides us with a glimpse into the natural history of the Autumnal Acarus and highlights the intricacies of the natural world that were meticulously documented during the 18th and 19th centuries. The handcolored copperplate engraving technique used in this illustration is a testament to the skill and dedication of the naturalists and artists of that era, who painstakingly captured the natural world in stunning detail.
