EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured steel engraving is taken from Felix-Edouard Guerin-Méneville's Dictionnaire Pittoresque d'Histoire Naturelle, published in Paris between 1834 and 1839. The image showcases a captivating collection of Lepidoptera, or butterflies, including the Mountain Apollo, Parnassius apollo 1, and the Southern Festoon, Zerynthia polyxena. The Mountain Apollo, also known as Parnassius apollon, is depicted in its adult form, displaying its vibrant wings adorned with intricate patterns. The Southern Festoon, Zerynthia polyxena, is shown in both its larval and pupal stages, providing a fascinating glimpse into the metamorphosis of this beautiful insect. The Mountain Apollo is a rare and elusive butterfly, native to the high mountains of Central Asia and Europe. Its delicate wings, which can span up to 8 centimeters, are a stunning blend of orange, black, and white. The Southern Festoon, on the other hand, is more commonly found in the Mediterranean region. Its larvae feed on various legumes, while its pupa undergoes a remarkable transformation, encased in a chrysalis. The image also features two additional species: Thais medesicaste, or the Large Orange Tip, and Parnassius apollo 1, which is likely a variant of the Mountain Apollo. The Large Orange Tip, also known as Thais medes, is a small butterfly with bright orange wings and black markings. This exquisite handcoloured steel engraving is a testament to the intricate beauty of the natural world and the meticulous attention to detail of the 19th-century scientific illustrators. It invites us to appreciate the delicate balance of life and the wonders of metamorphosis.
