EDITORS COMMENTS
This print is a beautiful example of the intricate relationship between insects and plants, as depicted in Curtis's British Entomology Plate 295. Dated between 1824 and 1839, this plate showcases the striking Coleoptera beetle, Callidium striatum, also known as Asemum striatum or the Kinnordy Cerambyx. The beetle is illustrated in its natural habitat, perched atop the creeping thistle, Cirsium arvense, also known as Carduus arvensis or Creeping Thistle. The beetle, a member of the Cerambycidae family, is characterized by its elongated body, distinctive stripes, and large mandibles. The thistle plant, a common weed found in fields and roadsides, is easily recognizable by its spiny leaves and purple flowers. The interaction between these two species is a classic example of mutualism, where each benefits from the other. The beetle feeds on the thistle, while the plant benefits from the beetle's role as a pollinator. This exquisite print is a testament to the meticulous work of John Curtis, FLS, the renowned British entomologist and botanist who dedicated his life to documenting the natural world. The plate is part of Curtis's comprehensive work, British Entomology, which was published in several volumes between 1824 and 1839. The attention to detail and accuracy in the illustration of both the beetle and the thistle are truly remarkable, making this print a valuable addition to any collection of natural history or entomology. This print also offers a glimpse into the 19th century's fascination with the natural world and the importance of documenting and preserving the intricacies of the natural world for future generations. The inclusion of the Latin names of the beetle, plant, and the entomologist, further underscores the scientific significance of this work.
