EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from Curtis's British Entomology, Plate 564, featuring the Heath Humble-bee or Bumble-bee, Bombus ericetorum. The male bee in this photograph is shown in comparison to Bombus subterraneus, with the latter seemingly present but not identified as the Mainland-European B. hypnorum ssp. ericetorum. The Hymenopteran bees are known for their important role as pollinators in various ecosystems. The Heath Humble-bee, with its distinctive yellow and black stripes, is a common sight in heathlands and moorlands across the British Isles. The plant species depicted in this photograph is Crassula tillaea, also known as Tillaea muscosa or Mossy Red-shanks. This succulent plant is native to Europe, North Africa, and western Asia, and is commonly found in damp and nutrient-poor soils. This beautiful entomological plate was produced between 1824 and 1839 by the renowned British botanist and entomologist, John Curtis. Curtis was a prolific contributor to the scientific community, producing numerous works on botany and entomology. This plate is part of his extensive collection of British insects, which was published in multiple volumes. The intricate detail and precision of the illustration showcase the meticulous work of the skilled artists and engravers of the time. The plate is a testament to the importance of natural history in the 19th century and the fascination with the natural world that drove scientific exploration and discovery.
