EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from Curtis's British Entomology, Plate 371, featuring the Striped-legged Galeruca or Pyrrhalta viburni (Coleoptera: Galerucinae), a vibrant and intricately patterned beetle species. The plant on which the beetle is perched is identified as Smooth Speedwell, Veronica serpyllifolia. This exquisite plate, published between 1824 and 1839, is a testament to the meticulous work of renowned British naturalist and entomologist, John Curtis FLS. The Galeruca viburni, also known as Pyrrhalta viburni, is a common species of leaf beetle found throughout Europe. The adult beetles exhibit striking black and orange markings, with distinctive white stripes on their legs. These beetles feed on various members of the Dipsacaceae and Veronica family, including Smooth Speedwell, which is depicted in this plate. The 19th century was a period of remarkable advancement in the field of entomology, and Curtis's British Entomology was a significant contribution to the scientific community. This series of plates, which includes over 1,200 meticulously detailed illustrations, showcases the diverse range of insects found in Britain during this time. The plates were produced using the technique of copperplate engraving, which allowed for exceptional detail and accuracy in the depiction of the insects and their host plants. This particular plate, with its stunning representation of the Striped-legged Galeruca on Smooth Speedwell, offers a glimpse into the rich natural history of the British Isles during the 1800s. It is a reminder of the beauty and intricacy of the natural world, as well as the dedication and passion of the naturalists and scientists who sought to document and preserve it for future generations.
