EDITORS COMMENTS
This 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 grasshoppers and locusts. The first specimen depicted is the Obscure Bird Grasshopper (Schistocerca obscura), a fascinating creature with a unique appearance and elusive habits. The second grasshopper is the Fork-tailed Bush Katydid (Scudderia furcata), easily identifiable by its distinctive, elongated hind legs and vibrant coloration. The third grasshopper in this arrangement is the Lubber Grasshopper (Taeniopoda centurio), a large and conspicuous species with a distinctive hump on its back. The fourth specimen is the Coffee Locust (Aularches miliaris subsp. miliaris), a small, brown locust that is often found in coffee plantations. The Obscure Bird Grasshopper, Fork-tailed Bush Katydid, Lubber Grasshopper, and Coffee Locust are just a few of the many exotic and intriguing insects that were discovered and documented during the 19th century. These remarkable creatures, along with countless others, continue to fascinate and inspire scientists, naturalists, and enthusiasts alike, offering a glimpse into the rich and diverse world of entomology. This stunning lithograph, with its meticulously hand-colored details, provides a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of entomology as it was understood over 180 years ago. The intricate patterns and vibrant colors of these insects are brought to life in this beautiful and historic work, making it a must-have for any serious collector or enthusiast of natural history.
