EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts the intricate relationship between a Margin-winged Stick Insect (Ctenomorpha chronus) and a Red Epacris (Epacris impressa), two native wonders of Tasmania's unique and diverse ecosystem. The Margin-winged Stick Insect, with its elongated body and intricately patterned wings, expertly camouflages itself among the foliage, blending in seamlessly with the surrounding vegetation. The Red Epacris, a vibrant native fuchsia, adds a burst of color to the forest floor, its delicate petals a stark contrast to the insect's muted tones. Louisa Anne Meredith, an accomplished artist and scientist, meticulously captured this scene in her book "Tasmanian Friends and Foes, Feathered, Furred and Finned," published in London in 1881. Meredith's keen observations and detailed illustrations showcase the natural history of Tasmania, with a focus on its ichthyology, botany, and entomology. In this image, we see the Margin-winged Stick Insect in the act of feeding on the Red Epacris, a common occurrence in the insect's natural habitat. The stick insect's long, slender legs and delicate antennae are perfectly adapted for its role as a master of disguise, allowing it to blend in effortlessly with its surroundings. The Red Epacris, a native Correa species, is a popular ornamental plant in gardens around the world, prized for its striking red flowers and glossy green leaves. In Tasmania, it is also known as the Tasmanian Pepperberry, Lanceolata, and is an important food source for many native animals. This beautiful and intriguing image offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of Tasmania's natural history, a world that continues to inspire and captivate us today.
