EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning image is taken from Curtis's British Entomology, Plate 631, featuring the False Footman, scientifically known as Stilbia anomalata, or Stilbia anomala. The False Footman is a fascinating Lepidopteran species, belonging to the family Nymphalidae, order Lepidoptera. The butterfly's intricate wings display a captivating pattern of brown, orange, and black, with a striking resemblance to a foot or leg, earning it the common name. The photograph captures the False Footman in its natural habitat, perched on the leaves of Vaccinium uliginosum, commonly known as Bog Bilberry. This low-growing shrub is native to cool, wet environments, making it an ideal host plant for the False Footman. The plant's vibrant red berries add a pop of color to the otherwise monochromatic scene. John Curtis, FLS, was a renowned English botanist, entomologist, and publisher who dedicated his career to documenting the natural world. Curtis's British Entomology, published between 1824 and 1839, was a groundbreaking work that showcased the diverse range of British insects. The meticulously detailed plates, produced by skilled engravers, remain an invaluable resource for scientific research and conservation efforts today. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the 19th century British natural world, highlighting the intricate relationship between the False Footman and its host plant, Bog Bilberry. The image serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving natural habitats and documenting the wonders of the natural world for future generations.
