EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 63 from the Drawings Collection of Oriental and African Blood-Sucking Flies presents a captivating watercolor and ink rendering of the Savanna Tsetse Fly, Glossina morsitans morsitans (Tabanidae: Tabaninae: Tabanus liventipes surcouf), created by the skilled hand of British artist Grace Edwards in approximately 1906. Edwards' meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate depiction of this arthropod's linear features, with its elongated, slender body, large compound eyes, and distinctive wings folded against its back. As a Brachycera, or short-horned fly, this Tabanid species is commonly referred to as a horse fly or a true fly. The Savanna Tsetse Fly is an invertebrate of significant historical importance due to its role as a disease vector in Africa. Transmitting African trypanosomes, which cause sleeping sickness in both animals and humans, this fly has long been a subject of interest for medical and scientific research. Grace Edwards' artistic representation of this important insect adds to the rich history of entomological illustration and showcases the beauty and complexity of the natural world. Her masterful use of watercolor and ink on paper captures the essence of this fascinating creature, allowing us to appreciate its intricacies and appreciate its role in the intricate web of life. The white background emphasizes the fly's striking features, making it a standout addition to any collection of natural history or art.
