EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from Curtis's British Entomology, Plate 36, featuring the Dotted Footman or Pelosia muscerda (previously known as Lithosia muscerda), a striking Lepidopteran species from the family Saturniidae. The butterfly is depicted gracefully perched on the leaves of Alisma plantago-aquatica, commonly known as Great Water Plantain. The intricate details of the butterfly's wings, adorned with bold black dots against a vibrant orange background, are beautifully rendered in this engraving. John Curtis, FLS, was a renowned English naturalist and entomologist who dedicated his life to the study and documentation of various insect species. This plate is believed to have been produced between the years 1824 and 1839, making it an invaluable contribution to the field of entomology during the 19th century. The meticulous attention to detail and the high-quality production of these plates are evident in this image. The Dotted Footman is a nocturnal species, and its larvae feed on various aquatic plants, including the Alisma plantago-aquatica. The adult butterflies are attracted to ripe fruit and nectar sources. This fascinating interaction between the Dotted Footman and its host plant is a testament to the intricate relationships that exist between insects and their environments. This image is a reminder of the rich natural history heritage that Curtis's British Entomology has left us, and it continues to inspire and captivate audiences with its exquisite detail and scientific significance.
