EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from Curtis's British Entomology, Plate 127, featuring the Cassida vittata, commonly known as the Samphire Tortoise-beetle. The beetle is depicted gracefully perched on a stem of Cochlearia danica, or Danish Scurvy-grass, with its vibrant, intricately patterned exoskeleton contrasting beautifully against the lush green foliage. Cassida vittata is a small, oval-shaped beetle, native to Europe and North Africa. Its distinctive appearance, characterized by the prominent, white, V-shaped markings on its elytra (wing cases), makes it a popular subject among entomologists and natural history enthusiasts. The plate, published between 1824 and 1839, was produced during the 19th century, a time when the study of natural history was experiencing a surge in popularity. The meticulously detailed illustration is the work of the renowned English botanist and entomologist, John Curtis, FLS (Fellow of the Linnean Society), who dedicated his career to documenting the diverse insect fauna of Britain. The plate is part of a larger series, which includes a variety of Coleoptera (beetles) and Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths), showcasing the rich biodiversity of the British Isles during the 1800s. This image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of natural history exploration and discovery during a time when the study of the natural world was a source of fascination and inspiration.
