EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from Curtis's British Entomology, Plate 190, featuring the Broad-headed Stone-fly, Perla cephalotes (syn. Dinocras cephalotes), of the Perlidae family. The intricately detailed illustration, produced between 1824 and 1839, was created by the skilled hand of John Curtis FLS. The Stone-fly, with its distinctive broad head and elongated, slender body, is shown perched gracefully on a stem of Trollius europaeus, commonly known as the Globe-flower. The Plecoptera order, to which the Stone-fly belongs, is characterized by the presence of gills on the hindwings, which are not visible in this illustration. Stone-flies are primarily found in freshwater habitats, and their larvae are often referred to as "sallying" or "clinging" mayflies due to their active hunting behavior. The Trollius europaeus plant, native to Europe, Asia, and parts of North America, is depicted in full bloom, showcasing its vibrant, bright yellow flowers. The plant is a member of the Ranunculaceae family and is commonly known as the Globe-flower due to the round, ball-like shape of its blossoms. This exquisite print offers a glimpse into the natural world of the 19th century, showcasing the intricate details of both the Broad-headed Stone-fly and the Globe-flower, captured with remarkable accuracy and precision by John Curtis. The illustration serves as a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world and the dedication of naturalists and illustrators of the time to document and preserve it.
