EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning image is taken from John Curtis's seminal work, "British Entomology," specifically plate 290, which features the Dark Green Fritillary butterfly, Argynnis aglaia var. The intricately detailed illustration, produced during the 1820s and 1830s, showcases the beauty and complexity of this Lepidopteran species. The Dark Green Fritillary is a member of the Nymphalidae family, and its vibrant wings display a captivating pattern of dark green veins against a paler background. The butterfly is depicted resting on the edge of a leaf, with the aquatic plant Conferva fluviatilis providing a natural and serene backdrop. This freshwater green alga, commonly found in shallow waters, adds an element of tranquility to the scene and highlights the connection between the insect world and its environment. John Curtis (1794-1862), a renowned English botanist and entomologist, dedicated his life to the study and documentation of various plant and insect species. His meticulous work on British Entomology, published between 1824 and 1839, remains a significant contribution to the field of natural history. The plates in this collection were produced under the supervision of Curtis and were executed by skilled artists and engravers, resulting in exquisite and accurate representations of the subjects. This image of the Dark Green Fritillary, with its intricate details and beautiful composition, offers a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the natural world as it was documented during the 19th century.
