EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from Curtis's British Entomology, Plate 49, featuring the Orange-margined Sawfly, Trichiosoma vitelline (formerly known as Trichiosoma laterale). The Hymenopteran insect is depicted in its natural habitat, feeding on the leaves of Hyacinthoides non-scripta, commonly known as Wild Hyacinth or Endymion non-scriptus. The vibrant orange markings on the sawfly's body contrast starkly against the delicate, blue-violet blooms of the wild hyacinth, creating a striking visual juxtaposition. The plate is part of John Curtis's seminal work, published between 1824 and 1839, which showcases an extensive collection of British insects, primarily focusing on the order Hymenoptera, including bees, ants, and wasps, as well as the sawflies. This particular plate also includes a few species of Lepidoptera, or butterflies, adding to the overall richness and diversity of the collection. The meticulously detailed illustration was produced during the 1820s and 1830s, a period of significant scientific advancement in the 19th century. The intricate line work and precise coloring showcase the exceptional skill and dedication of the entomological illustrators of the time. This image offers a glimpse into the natural history of Britain during this era, providing a window into the fascinating world of insects and their interactions with native plants.
