EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from Curtis's British Entomology, Plate 538, featuring Coleoptera, or beetles, specifically the Twin-spotted Nothus (Nothus bipunctatus, now known as Osphya bipunctata). The beetle is depicted gracefully perched on the petals of Upright Cudweed (Gnaphalium sylvaticum, also known as Gnaphalium rectum), a common plant native to Europe and Asia. The intricate details of the beetle's exoskeleton and the delicate texture of the cudweed petals are beautifully rendered in this engraving, which was produced during the 1820s to 1830s. John Curtis, FLS, was a renowned English botanist and entomologist who dedicated his career to the study and documentation of the natural world. His comprehensive work, Curtis's British Entomology, was published in installments between 1824 and 1839, showcasing an impressive array of insects, including various species of beetles, bees, butterflies, and more. The Twin-spotted Nothus is a striking beetle, characterized by its twin black spots on a red background. This beetle is a member of the family Ledipteridae, which includes various species of flat-nosed beetles. The plant, Upright Cudweed, is a member of the daisy family, Asteraceae, and is commonly found in woodlands and grasslands. This exquisite print offers a glimpse into the rich natural history of the 19th century, showcasing the intricate beauty of both the beetle and the plant, and the meticulous attention to detail of the skilled engravers and illustrators of the time.
