EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning illustration showcases the intricate details of the Comma Butterfly, Polygonia c-album, as depicted in Theo Johnson's "Illustrations of British Butterflies: with occasional figures of the larva, pupa, and food-plant" published in 1878. The Comma Butterfly is a member of the Nymphalidae family, also known as brush-footed butterflies or four-footed butterflies due to the scaled pads on their feet. This particular species is easily recognizable by its distinctive orange markings and long, brown larvae. The Comma Butterfly is an invertebrate, belonging to the Phylum Arthropoda and the Class Insecta. It is an essential part of the Hexapoda subclass, which includes all six-legged invertebrates. The Comma Butterfly's larvae, or caterpillars, are brown and can be found feeding on various food plants, such as nettles and willows. Johnson's illustration captures the beauty and delicacy of this lepidopteran species, with its wings spread wide and intricate veins visible. The Comma Butterfly is a common sight in the British Isles, particularly during the autumn months. Its ability to fly in cooler temperatures sets it apart from other butterflies, making it a valuable addition to any natural history collection or scientific study. The illustration's vibrant colors and meticulous details provide a glimpse into the natural world of the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the past while reminding us of the importance of preserving and appreciating the natural wonders that surround us.
