EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is a beautifully detailed representation of Plate 490 from Curtis's British Entomology, featuring the majestic Stag Beetle, Lucanus cervus, and its accompanying plant, Common Cudweed, Filago vulgaris (also known as Gnaphalium germanicum). The plate, published between 1824 and 1839, is a testament to the meticulous work of John Curtis FLS, a renowned British naturalist and entomologist of the 19th century. The Stag Beetle, so named for the impressive antlers-like mandibles of the male specimen, is a fascinating member of the Coleoptera family. This impressive insect is depicted in its natural habitat, surrounded by the delicate white flowers of Common Cudweed, a native European plant of the Daisy family. The intricate details of the beetle's exoskeleton, its expressive eyes, and the delicate folds of its wings are rendered with remarkable accuracy and artistry. The inclusion of the Common Cudweed in this plate is noteworthy, as it was often used as a food source for rearing Stag Beetles in captivity during the 19th century. The plant's tiny, white flowers, which are shown in various stages of bloom, add a delicate contrast to the robust presence of the Stag Beetle. This stunning plate is a prime example of the exquisite detail and accuracy that characterized the work of John Curtis and his contemporaries during the 1820s and 1830s. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of Britain during this period, showcasing both the beauty and intricacy of its native insects and plants.
