EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored engraving, titled "Water Boatman, Water Bug, and Toad Bug," is a stunning representation of aquatic insects from the Universal Dictionary of Natural History by Charles d'Orbigny, published in Paris in 1849. The illustration, originally drawn by Blanchard, was masterfully brought to life by the skilled hand of Lebrun. The central figure of this intriguing composition is the Water Boatman, or Sigara striata (Corixa striata), identified as number one in the illustration. This insect, also known as a backswimmer, is a predator that propels itself through the water using its hind legs, which it uses like oars. The Water Boatman's distinctive elongated body and large, transparent hind wings are clearly visible in the engraving. Number three in the illustration is the Boatfly or Backswimmer, Nononecta nivea. This insect, which resembles the Water Boatman, is actually a fly, not a true bug. It is an important predator in freshwater ecosystems and is easily identified by its distinctive white spots. Number five in the illustration is the Toad Bug, Gelastocoris oculatus (Galgulus oculatus). This insect, also known as the Marsh Toad Bug, is a true bug and is characterized by its large, bulging eyes and its ability to camouflage itself among aquatic vegetation. The Marbled Giant Water Bug, Belostoma marmoratum, is the largest insect in the illustration, identified as number seven. This impressive predator is known for its ability to ambush its prey using its long, spiny legs. Its body is covered in intricate, marbled patterns, making it a beautiful and formidable creature. This engraving not only showcases the natural beauty of these aquatic insects but also highlights the remarkable skill of the artist and engraver in bringing them to life in such intricate detail.
