EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Metamorphosis of the Lady Bird, Coccinella septempunctata" takes us on a journey through the intricate transformation of this beloved insect. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the remarkable stages of metamorphosis that occur within the life cycle of Coccinella septempunctata. From its humble beginnings as an egg, we witness the ladybird's gradual evolution into a larva with its distinct segmented body and voracious appetite for aphids. As time passes, it undergoes a miraculous change, shedding its skin to reveal a pupa adorned with delicate patterns and colors. Finally, emerging from this chrysalis-like state is the iconic adult ladybird we all recognize – complete with vibrant red wings and those characteristic black spots. This exquisite illustration was originally featured in P Martin Duncan's renowned book "The Transformations or Metamorphoses of Insects" published around 1890. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an invaluable scientific resource for entomologists studying these fascinating creatures. Through this engraving, we are reminded of nature's extraordinary ability to shape lifeforms into something entirely different yet equally beautiful. The meticulous attention to detail captured by Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the aesthetic allure but also gain insight into one of nature's most astonishing processes – metamorphosis.
