EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning and intricately detailed print showcases the Scarce Green Silver Lines butterfly, scientifically known as Halias quercana, or Bena bicolorana. The butterfly is depicted in its natural habitat, perched gracefully on a leaf, displaying its distinctive green wings adorned with silver lines. The image is taken from Curtis's British Entomology, a seminal work in the field of entomology published between 1824 and 1839 by the renowned British naturalist John Obadiah Westwood, under the supervision of Frederick DuCane Godman and Joseph Dalton Hooker. The Scarce Green Silver Lines butterfly, also known as the Quercus Silverline or the Bena Bicolorana, is a species of Nymphalid butterfly native to the Mediterranean region. The butterfly's wingspan ranges from 50 to 75 millimeters, and it is characterized by its bright green wings with silver lines that form a distinctive pattern. The species is relatively rare and is known to prefer habitats with oak trees, which provide the food source for its larvae. This beautifully preserved print is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and scientific accuracy that characterized the work of John Curtis and his collaborators. The intricate illustrations in Curtis's British Entomology were produced by skilled artists and engravers, and the resulting prints remain an invaluable resource for entomologists and natural history enthusiasts to this day. The Scarce Green Silver Lines butterfly is just one of the many fascinating species documented in Curtis's British Entomology, which showcases a diverse array of insects, including beetles, bees, and moths. This print is a reminder of the rich natural history heritage of the 19th century and the important role that scientific exploration and documentation played in advancing our understanding of the natural world.
