EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from John Curtis's seminal work, "British Entomology," specifically Plate 200, published between 1824 and 1839. The plate showcases the intricate details of a Coleopteran beetle, identified as Cillenum laterale, now known as Cillenus lateralis or Bembidion laterale. The beetle's elongated body, with its metallic green and coppery-red exoskeleton, is depicted in lifelike detail, capturing the essence of its natural beauty. The plant accompanying the beetle is identified as Coronopus squamatus, also known as Swine's Cress or Coronopus ruellii. The delicate, yellow flowers of this plant contrast sharply with the robust form of the beetle, highlighting the diverse range of flora and fauna that existed in the British Isles during the 19th century. This plate is a testament to the meticulous work of John Curtis, a renowned British naturalist and botanist, and his team of skilled illustrators. The high-quality engraving technique used in the production of this plate allows for an exceptional level of detail, making it an invaluable resource for both scientific research and conservation efforts. The era of the 1820s and 1830s was a time of great exploration and discovery in the fields of entomology and botany. Curtis's "British Entomology" was one of the most comprehensive works of its time, documenting a vast array of insect species, many of which were newly discovered. This plate, featuring the striking Cillenum laterale and Coronopus squamatus, is a testament to the importance of this work in advancing our understanding of the natural world.
