EDITORS COMMENTS
Two Enchanting Creatures: A Timeless Tale of Symbiosis This image features two exquisitely rendered birds, their eyes fixed intently on the white background, as they eagerly await the arrival of their tiny companions. The intricately designed title page, created by the skilled hands of Ernestine Mills in 1909, showcases a heart-shaped enamel badge adorned with a stylized tree in three vibrant colors: purple, white, and green. Gold leaves gracefully frame the top and bottom sections, adding a touch of elegance to the piece. The scene unfolds as two enchanting creatures, a fly and a bee, make their way towards the birds, drawn by the promise of crumbs. The fly, a member of the Bombyliidae family, is a true fly, characterized by its long, slender body and elongated proboscis. Its brown coloration and brachycera (short antennae) make it a striking contrast against the white background. The bee, belonging to the Hymenoptera order, is an anthophilous insect, meaning it feeds on nectar and pollen. Its hexapod body, with six legs and three body segments, is a testament to the vast diversity of the insect kingdom. This beautiful and intricate artwork, a relic from the W.S.P.U's Women's Exhibition of 1909, is a reminder of the fascination and appreciation for the natural world that has endured throughout history. The delicate balance of life, as depicted in this scene, highlights the intricate relationships between various species and the importance of their coexistence.
