EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning black and orange cardinal butterfly, Pandoriana pandora lilicina, was captured on May 31st, 1911, in the picturesque village of Olonne, France. The photograph, taken by renowned naturalist Georges Durand, showcases the intricate details of this exquisite arthropod, belonging to the family Nymphalidae and the order Lepidoptera. The Cardinal Butterfly, also known as the Four-footed Butterfly or Brush-footed Butterfly, is a popular species in Europe, distinguished by its large, vibrant wings and four 'feet' on the hindwings, which aid in camouflage. This particular specimen, displayed against a pristine white background, is the type specimen of Pandoriana pandora lilicina, making it a valuable historical record in the field of entomology. The 1910s were an era of significant scientific discovery, and Durand's meticulous documentation of this creature adds to the rich history of invertebrate research. The Cardinal Butterfly, with its dorsal view displayed in this studio shot, is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world. Its hexapod structure, with six legs and two pairs of wings, is a common trait among arthropods, and its place within the Insecta class further highlights the vast array of creatures that inhabit our planet. This photograph, with its historical significance and breathtaking detail, serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and documenting the natural world for future generations. Durand's work continues to inspire and educate, showcasing the wonders of the natural world and the importance of scientific exploration.
