EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning combination of natural elements, featuring the European oil beetle, Meloe proscarabaeus, the melon de Honfleur, Cucumis melo, and the sheep ked, Melophagus ovinus. The handcoloured steel engraving by Pfitzer after an illustration by Adolph Fries brings these creatures to life with vibrant hues and intricate details. In the foreground, we see the European oil beetle in all its glory. Its glossy black exoskeleton glistens under the light as it scuttles across a bed of lush green herbs. This fascinating insect is known for its unique reproductive strategy involving parasitic larvae that attach themselves to bees or other insects. Moving towards the center of the composition, our attention is drawn to a ripe melon de Honfleur nestled amidst leaves and vines. The vibrant orange hue of this juicy fruit adds a burst of color to the scene while enticing our taste buds with its sweet aroma. Lastly, perched on top of one leaf is a sheep ked - an intriguing parasite commonly found on domesticated animals such as sheep. With its flattened body and large wingspan, this tiny creature may seem insignificant but plays an important role in understanding animal health and welfare. Overall, this exquisite print captures not only nature's beauty but also highlights various aspects of entomology and botany. It serves as a reminder of how interconnected different species are within our ecosystem and encourages us to appreciate their diversity and significance.
