EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from Curtis's British Entomology, Plate 201, featuring the Flame Wainscot butterfly, Senta (Mythimna) flammea, in its natural habitat. The intricately detailed illustration, produced between 1824 and 1839 by the renowned botanical artist John Curtis FLS, showcases the vibrant orange and black wings of this Lepidopteran species. The Flame Wainscot is a small moth, commonly found in Europe, and is known for its distinctive markings that resemble a small flame. The illustration is accompanied by the common name Water-cress, Rorippa nasturtium-aquaticum, which is depicted growing in the foreground. This aquatic plant, also known as Sisymbrium nasturtium, is native to Europe, Asia, and northwestern Africa, and is characterized by its peppery taste and floating leaves. The plant's presence in the image provides context for the butterfly's habitat, as the Flame Wainscot is often found near water sources. Curtis's British Entomology was a groundbreaking publication during the 19th century, showcasing over 4,000 meticulously illustrated plates of insects. The series was a significant contribution to the scientific community, providing an accurate record of the natural history of Britain's insects and advancing the field of entomology. This particular plate, with its stunning depiction of the Flame Wainscot and Water-cress, is a testament to the remarkable detail and precision of Curtis's work.
