EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, published in 1897, showcases the intricate defense mechanisms of various insects. The print features a diverse array of species, each with their unique strategies for survival. From threatening postures to signal colors and drawings, these insects have evolved fascinating ways to deter potential predators. Some rely on protection colors that imitate their surroundings, blending seamlessly into their environment. Others are armed with artillery-like secretions or defensive hairs and spikes that make them unappetizing or dangerous to attackers. The print also highlights other intriguing tactics employed by these creatures. Some insects feign death when threatened, while others utilize masking techniques or concealment to avoid detection altogether. Color timing is another clever strategy exhibited by certain species, where they change hues depending on the circumstances. Additionally, the print includes examples of cocoon protection as well as the use of camouflage through coloration and patterns. This remarkable artwork serves as both an educational tool and a visual delight for nature enthusiasts. It offers a glimpse into the extraordinary world of insect defenses and reminds us of the incredible diversity found within our natural surroundings.
