EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning image is a captivating representation of Curtis British Entomology Plate 477, featuring the Black-banded Tachydromia (Tachydromia arrogans) interacting with the Inelegant Rag-wort (Senecio squalidus). Dating back to the 1820s-1830s, this exquisite plate is a testament to the intricate detail and beauty of natural history illustration during the 19th century. The Black-banded Tachydromia, a member of the Diptera family and the genus Tachydromia, is depicted with its distinctive black and yellow stripes, adding a vibrant contrast against the backdrop of the Inelegant Rag-wort. The Ledipteran insect, with its elongated body and delicate wings, is expertly illustrated, showcasing its unique features and intricate wing patterns. The Inelegant Rag-wort, a member of the Asteraceae family, is depicted in full bloom, providing a lush and textured contrast to the delicate form of the Tachydromia. The plant's small, yellow flowers surround the insect, creating an intriguing and harmonious composition. This plate, part of the extensive collection of John Curtis' British Entomology series, is a remarkable example of the meticulous work that went into natural history illustration during the 19th century. The collaboration between the skilled artist and the dedicated naturalist resulted in a beautiful and accurate representation of both the Black-banded Tachydromia and the Inelegant Rag-wort, providing a valuable record of these species for generations to come.
