EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from Curtis's British Entomology, Plate 681, featuring the tiny water bug, Hydroessa pygmaea, also known as Microvelia pygmaea. The Hemipteran insect, belonging to the family Ledipodidae, is depicted perched gracefully on the delicate petals of Nymphoides peltata, commonly known as the Fringed Water-lily or Villarsia nymphoides. The intricate details of both the insect and the plant are exquisitely rendered, showcasing the exceptional artistry of the illustrator. Dating back to the 1820s and 1830s, this plate is a testament to the rich natural history records of the 19th century. John Curtis, FLS, was the esteemed publisher and editor of this influential work, which was renowned for its high-quality illustrations of various insect species. The Hemiptera order, which includes Hydroessa pygmaea, is characterized by their piercing-sucking mouthparts and incomplete metamorphosis, transforming from nymph to adult. The Fringed Water-lily, Nymphoides peltata, is a beautiful aquatic plant that thrives in still or slow-moving water. Its large, round, and fringed leaves provide an ideal habitat for various aquatic organisms, including the diminutive Hydroessa pygmaea. The delicate balance between these two natural wonders is captured in this stunning image, offering a glimpse into the intricate web of life that exists within aquatic ecosystems. This print is a must-have for natural history enthusiasts, collectors, and researchers, providing a unique window into the natural world of the 19th century.
