EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning image is Plate 46 from "Illustrations of British Butterflies and Their Larvae, with the Plants on Which They Feed," a comprehensive work by renowned naturalist Theo Johnson, published in 1892. The plate features the Common Blue Butterfly, Polyommatus icarus, a vibrant and captivating insect from the Lycaenidae family. The Common Blue Butterfly, also known as the Common Blue, is a small, gossamer-winged butterfly with distinctive blue wings and a silver band around the edge. This species is native to Europe, North Africa, and western Asia, and is a beloved sight in meadows and grasslands during the summer months. Johnson's meticulous illustration showcases the intricate details of the Common Blue Butterfly's wings, which are adorned with tiny, shimmering scales that reflect light and create a mesmerizing iridescence. The artist also captured the delicate veining patterns and the subtle variations in coloration that make each butterfly unique. In the background of the plate, Johnson depicted the larval stage of the Common Blue Butterfly, which is a brown, caterpillar-like creature with distinctive markings. This stage of the butterfly's life cycle is crucial for its survival, as it relies on specific plant species for food and shelter. As an archivist, I am in awe of the exquisite detail and accuracy of Johnson's illustrations, which continue to be an essential resource for entomologists, naturalists, and enthusiasts alike. The Common Blue Butterfly is just one of the many fascinating insects that Johnson documented in his groundbreaking work, which remains a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world.
