EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from Curtis's British Entomology, Plate 515, featuring the Scarce or Clouded Magpie butterfly (Abraxas ulmata, now known as Abraxas sylvata) perched on the leaves of a Common Elm tree (Ulmus campestris agg., including Ulmus campestris). The plate, published between 1824 and 1839, was produced by renowned English botanical and entomological illustrator John Curtis FLS. The Scarce Magpie, a member of the Lepidoptera family, is a medium-sized, attractive moth with distinctive orange and black wings, resembling the plumage of a magpie. The magpie's preference for elm trees is reflected in the plate's title and the plant depicted in the background. The 19th century was a period of significant scientific discovery and exploration, and Curtis's meticulously detailed entomological plates were an essential contribution to the scientific community's understanding of the natural world. This image, in particular, showcases the intricate beauty of the Scarce Magpie and its preferred habitat, providing a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the British Isles during this time. The plate's intricate illustration, coupled with the historical significance of the publication, makes it an invaluable resource for both scientific research and conservation efforts. The Scarce Magpie, once a common sight in the British countryside, has experienced population declines due to habitat loss and climate change. This beautiful and fascinating creature serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world and documenting its wonders for future generations.
