EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored lithograph showcases an enchanting assembly of Scarab beetles, showcasing a diverse range of species: Copris sulcatus (1), Carolina copris (2), Dichotomius carolinus (2), the rainbow scarab beetle (3), Phanaeus carnifex (male 4 and female 5), a small black dung beetle (6), Coprobius laevis (7), and Onitis spinipes (8). Scarab beetles, part of the Scarabaeidae family, are renowned for their distinctive, elongated front wings that fold over their hard forewings, resembling the ancient Egyptian scarabs. The Copris species, such as Copris sulcatus and Carolina copris, are commonly known as dung beetles due to their essential role in breaking down and burying dung, contributing to nutrient cycling in ecosystems. The Dichotomius carolinus and Coprobius laevis are also dung beetles, while the Phanaeus carnifex, with its vibrant colors and large mandibles, is known as the 'armored soldier' or 'rhinoceros beetle.' The rainbow scarab beetle, Phanaeus carnifex, is a striking species with iridescent wings that shimmer in various hues. The small black dung beetle, Copris minutus, is a diminutive yet essential member of the scarab beetle family. The Onitis spinipes, with its elongated legs and spiny pincers, is a formidable and intriguing species. This exquisite lithograph, created by renowned naturalists John Westwood and Dr. J.D. Drury, captures the essence and beauty of these fascinating creatures. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring each beetle to life, making this a must-have for any natural history enthusiast or collector. This artwork serves as a testament to the rich biodiversity of the insect world and the importance of preserving and appreciating it.
