EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph showcases an enchanting assemblage of six intriguing beetles and weevils, meticulously depicted in John O. Westwood's new edition of Dru Drury's Illustrations of Exotic Entomology, published by Bohn, London, in 1837. The Brazilian diamond beetle, Entimus imperialis (1), graces the foreground with its iridescent, golden-green elytra, adorned with distinctive black spots. The bearded weevil, Rhinostomus barbirostris (2), is shown in its female form, boasting a striking, elongated rostrum and a velvety, brown exoskeleton. The red-spotted lily weevil, Brachycerus ornatus (3), is depicted with its vibrant, red spots and distinctive, curved antennae. The strawberry root weevil, Sciaphilus asperatus (4), is illustrated with its elongated snout and a mottled, brown and grey appearance. The frog-legged beetle, Sagra femorata (5), is an intriguing creature with its hind legs resembling the limbs of a frog. The beetles and weevils in this illustration are not only visually stunning but also serve as a testament to the rich biodiversity of the natural world, captured in exquisite detail by the skilled hands of the lithographer. The lithograph, handcoloured with delicate precision, highlights the intricate patterns and textures of each insect's exoskeleton, inviting the viewer to appreciate the beauty and complexity of these fascinating creatures. This work of art not only serves as a valuable historical record but also as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world and its diverse inhabitants.
