EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases four unique species of beetles, each with its own distinct characteristics and beauty. In the foreground, we have Cissites maculata, commonly known as the variegated oil beetle. Its vibrant colors and intricate patterns make it a true marvel of nature. Next to it is Meloe variegatus, also known as the Spanish fly, which boasts an iridescent sheen that catches the light in a mesmerizing way. Moving towards the center, we encounter Lytta vesicatoria or the Spanish blister beetle. This particular species has long been associated with its potent defensive secretion used for protection against predators. Finally, we have Lytta nuttalli or Nuttalls blister beetle at the top right corner of this composition. The handcoloured steel engraving by William Lizars beautifully captures these creatures' delicate details and textures while highlighting their individuality within a scientific context. James Duncan's Natural History of Beetles serves as an invaluable resource for those interested in studying these fascinating insects. This artwork not only celebrates entomology but also reminds us of our planet's incredible biodiversity and how every creature plays a vital role in maintaining ecological balance. Whether you are an insect enthusiast or simply appreciate fine art that merges science and aesthetics seamlessly, this print is sure to captivate your imagination and spark curiosity about our natural world.
