EDITORS COMMENTS
of "The Coleoptera of the British Islands" Volume 3, published in 1889, features an intriguing assemblage of three distinct beetle species: Necrophorus, Necrodes, and Silpha. This illustration, created by the Reverend Canon Fowler, showcases the remarkable adaptations of these carrion beetles in their natural habitat. The Necrophorus beetle, also known as the sexton beetle, is depicted in the center of the image. With its distinctive, elongated mandibles, this beetle is well-known for its role in the decomposition process. It lays its eggs in carrion and, once hatched, the larvae feed on the decaying flesh. The adult beetle is often found carrying a piece of carrion to use as a food source for its offspring. To the left of the Necrophorus beetle is the Necrodes beetle, commonly referred to as the burying beetle. This species is easily identified by its vibrant, iridescent green exoskeleton. Like the Necrophorus, the Necrodes lays its eggs in carrion and buries it to create a nest for its larvae. The adult beetles are crucial in the decomposition process, as they help to break down the carrion and distribute nutrients back into the soil. The third beetle in this illustration is the Silpha, or the rove beetle, located to the right of the Necrophorus. Unlike the other two species, the Silpha is not a carrion beetle. Instead, it is an omnivorous and predatory beetle that feeds on a wide variety of invertebrates. Its elongated legs and slender body make it an agile hunter, allowing it to navigate various terrains and locate its prey. This stunning illustration provides a glimpse into the diverse and intriguing world of beetles, showcasing the unique adaptations and roles these insects play in the ecosystem. The Reverend Canon Fowler's meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill bring these fascinating creatures to life, offering a captivating window into the natural history of the British Isles.
