EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate engraving showcases the intricacies of the Long-legged Canibal Mite, Cheletomorpha lepidopterorum. Dating back to 1794, this exquisite illustration was originally published in George Shaw and Frederick Nodder's renowned work, The Naturalist's Miscellany, in London. The Long-legged Canibal Mite is a microscopic arachnid that preys on other mites and small insects.

The delicate details of its eight legs, elongated body, and tiny, piercing mouthparts are expertly captured in this engraving, offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of zoology and natural history. The intricate process of creating this engraving involved the use of copper plates, which were meticulously etched and then hand-colored to bring the mite to life. The resulting image showcases the exceptional skill and artistry of the engravers and colorists of the time. As a historical artifact, this engraving not only serves as a testament to the rich history of natural history illustration but also highlights the importance of scientific exploration and documentation in the late 18th century.
