EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate engraving depicts the Wandering Locust, Gryllus migratoria, a remarkable insect known for its migratory behavior and swarming abilities. The intricate detail in this image, taken from George Shaw and Frederick Nodder's The Naturalist's Miscellany published in 1800, showcases the locust's distinctive features. The locust's elongated hind legs are clearly visible, as well as its powerful forelegs, which it uses for jumping. The engraving also highlights the locust's prominent eyes and the patterned wings that fold neatly beneath its body when at rest. The Wandering Locust, also known as the Migratory Locust, is native to Africa and parts of Asia. It is unique among locust species for its ability to form large, mobile swarms that can travel great distances in search of food. These swarms can contain billions of locusts, and their collective movement can cover vast areas, leading to significant agricultural damage. The Naturalist's Miscellany was a popular natural history publication of the time, and this engraving is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and accuracy that was a hallmark of such works. The use of handcoloring added an extra layer of beauty and realism to the image, making it a valuable historical record of this fascinating insect and its natural history.
