EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph showcases an enchanting collection of exotic longhorn beetles, captured in intricate detail during the new edition of Dru Drurys Illustrations of Exotic Entomology, published by Bohn, London, in 1837. The illustration features six distinct species: Sternotomis mirabilis (1), Prosopocera bipunctata (2), Polyrhaphis spinosa (3), Citrus long-horned beetle, Anoplophora chinensis (4), and the vulnerable Rosalia alpina (5). The Sternotomis mirabilis (1) and Prosopocera bipunctata (2) display their vibrant, iridescent exoskeletons, while Polyrhaphis spinosa (3) boasts a unique, spiny appearance. The Citrus long-horned beetle (not depicted in the image) is known for its destructive impact on citrus crops, making it a significant agricultural pest. Anoplophora chinensis (4), also known as the Asian longhorn beetle, is an invasive species that has caused significant damage to forests in North America and Europe. The most captivating beetle in this collection is the vulnerable Rosalia alpina (5), also known as the Rosalia longicorn or the "Mountain Unicorn." This exquisite longhorn beetle is critically endangered due to habitat loss and fragmentation. Its elongated horns, delicate wings, and intricate patterns make it a true marvel of the natural world. This illustration, handcoloured by skilled artisans, offers a glimpse into the rich diversity of longhorn beetles and highlights the importance of conservation efforts to protect endangered species like the Rosalia alpina.
