EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from John Curtis's seminal work, "British Entomology," specifically Plate 215, which was published between 1824 and 1839. The plate features a stunning arrangement of various species, showcasing the intricacies of the Coleoptera, or beetles, family. At the heart of this composition lies the Telephorus cyaneus, also known as Cantharis abdominalis var. cyanea. This particular beetle is a vibrant, metallic-blue species, characterized by its elongated, slender body and powerful mandibles. Its appearance is a testament to the mesmerizing diversity of the beetle kingdom. Surrounding the Telephorus cyaneus are other exquisite Coleoptera, adding to the rich tapestry of insect life. Among them are species from the Ledipotera suborder, which are characterized by their long antennae. The plant gracing this plate is Primula farinosa, commonly known as the Mountain Auricula. This delicate, alpine plant is a native of Europe and Asia, and its presence adds a touch of botanical beauty to the composition. This plate is a remarkable snapshot of the natural world as it was discovered and documented during the 1820s and 1830s, a time when the scientific community was making significant strides in understanding the intricacies of the natural world. John Curtis, the esteemed botanist and entomologist who compiled this work, was at the forefront of these discoveries, and his meticulous illustrations continue to captivate and inspire us today.
