EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning image is a captivating representation of Curtis British Entomology Plate 324, featuring the Manchester Treble-bar, scientifically known as Carsia sororiata (previously identified as Larissa imbutata). The plate, published between 1824 and 1839, is a remarkable testament to the intricate detail and accuracy of natural history illustration during the 19th century. The Manchester Treble-bar is a beautiful moth belonging to the Lepidoptera order, specifically the family Saturniidae. Its wings display a mesmerizing pattern of brown, orange, and white, with distinctive black markings. The moth is depicted in flight, its wings spread wide, revealing the intricate veining and delicate scales that characterize this species. The plate is accompanied by the common name of the plant featured in the illustration, Round-leaved Bellflower (Campanula rotundifolia). This attractive plant, with its bell-shaped, blue-purple flowers, provides a striking contrast to the moth, adding to the overall beauty and balance of the composition. The illustration was produced by the renowned natural history artist, John Curtis, FLS, who was known for his meticulous attention to detail and commitment to scientific accuracy. The plate is a testament to the dedication and passion of naturalists and illustrators of the time, who sought to document and preserve the natural world for future generations. This image is an essential resource for entomologists, historians, and anyone with an interest in the natural world, offering a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the past and the beauty of the Manchester Treble-bar and Round-leaved Bellflower.
