EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from Curtis's British Entomology, Plate 146, featuring the Diptera species, Gasterophilus salutiferus and Gasterophilus nasalis, commonly known as the Healthful Bot-fly or Warble-fly. The flies are depicted in their natural habitat, with the common wall cress plant, Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabis thaliana), serving as their host. The intricately detailed illustration, produced during the 1820s and 1830s, is the work of the renowned English botanist and entomologist, John Curtis FLS. The plate is part of Curtis's extensive collection, which showcases a diverse range of British insects, including various species of butterflies and other insects. Gasterophilus flies are parasitic in nature, with the larvae developing inside the host animal, typically livestock such as horses and cattle. The adult flies are harmless, but their presence is a sign of infestation, which can lead to significant health issues for the host. The common wall cress, Arabidopsis thaliana, is a small, herbaceous plant native to Europe, Asia, and the Mediterranean. It is an important model organism in modern molecular biology and genetics research, due to its small size, short generation time, and ease of cultivation. This beautiful and historic print offers a fascinating glimpse into the natural world of the 19th century, showcasing the intricate relationship between these flies, their host plant, and the broader ecosystem.
