EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning illustration showcases the Large Copper butterfly, Chrysophanus dispar, also known as the Large Blue or Heodes, from Theo Johnson's "Illustrations of British Butterflies: with occasional figures of the larva, pupa, and food-plant," published in 1878. The Large Copper is a beautiful invertebrate belonging to the Lepidoptera order, specifically the family Lycaenidae. This particular species is easily recognizable by its vibrant blue-green wings, adorned with intricate black veins and white spots. The Large Copper is native to Europe, North Africa, and western Asia. It is a small to medium-sized butterfly, with adults measuring around 3.5 to 4.5 centimeters in length. The larvae of this species feed on various low-growing plants, such as Bedstraw and Dock, while the adults primarily feed on nectar from a variety of flowers. The Large Copper undergoes complete metamorphosis, transforming from a caterpillar to a pupa, and finally to an adult butterfly. The caterpillars are brown and have a distinct, tubular-shaped body. Once they have completed their development as pupae, the adult butterflies emerge, ready to take flight and begin the cycle anew. This illustration provides a captivating glimpse into the natural world, showcasing the intricate details of the Large Copper's anatomy and the delicate beauty of its wings. Theo Johnson's meticulous drawing style brings this invertebrate to life, allowing us to appreciate the wonder and diversity of the natural world.
