EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning image is taken from Curtis's British Entomology, a seminal work in the field of Lepidopterology published between 1824 and 1839. Plate 12, featuring the Large Copper butterfly (Lycaena dispar), is a testament to the exquisite detail and accuracy of the illustrations produced during the 19th century. The Large Copper, also known as the Large Blue, is a small butterfly with distinctive blue-green wings, which can be found in Europe and Asia. The butterfly is depicted perched on the common reed (Phragmites australis), also known as Arundo phragmites. This tall, graceful plant is native to wetlands and is one of the most widespread and adaptable wetland plants in the world. Its long, slender stems and feathery plumes are characteristic of the species. The illustration was produced by the skilled hand of John Curtis, FLS, who was instrumental in the production of Curtis's British Entomology. The work was groundbreaking in its time, providing an accurate record of the butterflies of Britain and Ireland, and remains an important reference today. The Large Copper and Common Reed are depicted in their natural habitat, highlighting the intricate relationship between these two species. The Large Copper lays its eggs on the Common Reed, and the caterpillars feed on the plant. This image offers a glimpse into the delicate balance of nature that exists between insects and their host plants. This print is a reminder of the beauty and importance of the natural world, and the role that scientific illustration plays in documenting and preserving it for future generations.
