EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 55 of Proc. Zoological Society London, 1884, showcases a captivating illustration of Rana esculenta, commonly known as the Edible Frog or European Common Frog. This amphibian is a member of the Anura order, specifically the Ranidae family, and is a true frog belonging to the Lissamphibia class. The Edible Frog is a versatile creature, found throughout Europe and parts of Asia. Its green and brown coloration, depicted in the illustration, allows it to blend seamlessly into its natural habitat, primarily wetlands and forests. This agile amphibian is an essential component of the ecosystem, playing a crucial role in controlling insect populations. The Edible Frog, Pelophylax esculentus, is not only a fascinating creature but also an essential source of food for many communities. Its legs are delicately depicted in the illustration, showcasing their slender and muscular structure. The frog's diet consists mainly of insects, worms, and other invertebrates, making it an essential link in the food chain. The daytime image captures the frog's relaxed demeanor, with its mouth slightly open, revealing its sticky tongue. The presence of a leaf nearby suggests the frog's natural habitat, where it spends most of its time hiding among vegetation. This beautiful illustration, held in the Zoology Library at the Natural History Museum in London, is a testament to the intricate details and accuracy of the scientific illustrations produced during the late 19th century. It offers a glimpse into the natural world, showcasing the beauty and diversity of the Edible Frog and the importance of preserving biodiversity for future generations.
