EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from Curtis's British Entomology, Plate 302, featuring the Coleoptera species Pelophila borealis, commonly known as the Irish Nebria. The intricately detailed print, published between 1824 and 1839, showcases the beetle's striking appearance against the backdrop of Ophioglossum vulgatum, or the Common Adder's Tongue plant. The delicate fern-like foliage adds a beautiful contrast to the robust, textured exoskeleton of the beetle. The Pelophila borealis is a member of the Ledipteridae family, which are commonly referred to as net-winged beetles due to the distinctive net-like veins on their wings. This particular species is native to Europe and is known for its elongated, flat body and distinctive markings, with a reddish-brown coloration and distinctive black spots. The Common Adder's Tongue plant, depicted in the background, is a unique and fascinating fern that grows in damp, shady areas. Its name comes from the shape of its spore-bearing structures, which resemble the tongue of an adder. The plant's delicate fronds add an ethereal quality to the image, making it a beautiful and intriguing composition. This exquisite print is a testament to the meticulous work of John Curtis, FLS, who dedicated his life to the study and documentation of British insects. The 1820s and 1830s were a golden age of entomology, and Curtis's work was instrumental in advancing our understanding of the natural world during this period. The intricate details captured in this print continue to captivate and inspire us today, offering a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the past.
