EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored lithograph, taken from John O. Westwood's new edition of Dru Drury's Illustrations of Exotic Entomology published by Bohn, London in 1837, showcases an intriguing assemblage of exotic insects and arachnids. The image features a diverse array of species, including the Oriental hornet, Vespa orientalis (1), with its distinctive yellow and brown stripes and large size. The Scarab hunter wasp, Campsomeris quadrimaculata (2), is depicted with its long, slender waist and distinctive yellow and black markings. The Hairy-footed flower bee, Anthophora plumipes (3), is shown with its fuzzy legs and distinctive coloration. The Steel-blue wasp, Chalybion caeruleum (4), is identified by its metallic blue exoskeleton and slender waist. The Preying Mantis, Thespis parva (5), is shown in a hunting position, with its long, spindly legs and triangular head. The Tarantula Hawk, Pepsis rubra (6), is depicted with its vibrant red and black coloration and long, stinger, which it uses to paralyze tarantulas for their venom to feed its offspring. The Isodontia petiolata wasp (7) is shown with its long, slender waist and distinctive yellow and black stripes. The Great Black Wasp, Sphex pensylvanica (8), is identified by its large size and black and yellow coloration. Other intriguing species in this image include the Scolia quadrimaculata, a scarab hunter wasp, and the Pepsis coeruleana, a steel-blue wasp. This image provides a glimpse into the rich and diverse world of exotic insects and arachnids, showcasing their unique beauty and intricate details.
