EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored lithograph, taken from the new edition of Dru Drury's Illustrations of Exotic Entomology published by Bohn in London in 1837, showcases three intriguing insects: the Conehead Mantis (Empusa pennicornis), the Wandering Violin Mantis (Gongylus gongylodes), and the Common Walkingstick Insect (Diapheromera femorata). The Conehead Mantis, also known as the Cornuted Mantis, is depicted in the top left corner of the image. With its distinctive cone-like protrusions on its head, this predatory insect is a master of disguise, able to blend seamlessly into its surroundings. To the right of the Conehead Mantis is the Wandering Violin Mantis, named for the violin-shaped creases on its forelegs. This mantis, also known as the Harpactor Mantis, is a wandering species, meaning it doesn't build a permanent nest but instead hunts on the ground. In the bottom left corner, the Common Walkingstick Insect is shown. This insect, with its elongated body and slender legs, is an expert at camouflage, blending in with twigs and branches. Despite its name, this insect is not actually a true mantis but rather belongs to the order Phasmatodea. This stunning lithograph, produced during the 19th century, showcases the beauty and intrigue of these exotic insects, offering a glimpse into the natural world of over 180 years ago.
