EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from Curtis's British Entomology, Plate 241, featuring the Long-horned Aster-fly, Tephritis cornutus (now known as Terellia ceratocera), in its natural habitat feeding on the Black Knapweed, Centaurea nigra. The plate, published between 1824 and 1839, is a testament to the meticulous work of John Curtis, FLS, a renowned British entomologist of the 19th century. The Long-horned Aster-fly is a member of the Diptera order, specifically the Tephritidae family. The species is characterized by its distinctive long proboscis, which it uses to extract nectar from flowers, and its elongated antennae, giving it the common name 'long-horned'. In this image, the fly is shown in a relaxed position, its wings spread wide, revealing intricate patterns and veins. The plant depicted in the background is the Black Knapweed, Centaurea nigra, a common wildflower in Europe and Asia. The plant's dark purple flowers provide a striking contrast to the fly's delicate wings and add to the overall beauty of the scene. This exquisite print is a reminder of the rich natural history knowledge that was being documented during the 1800s. It also highlights the importance of preserving and studying the intricate relationships between different species and their habitats. The Long-horned Aster-fly and the Black Knapweed, though seemingly unrelated, are brought together in this image, showcasing the interconnectedness of the natural world.
