EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from Curtis's British Entomology, Plate 762, featuring the Coleoptera species Tachyporus littoreus, now known as Sepedophilus littoreus. The intricately detailed print, published between 1824 and 1839, showcases the beetle's impressive exoskeleton and distinctive features. The beetle is depicted perched on Linnaea borealis, commonly known as Twinflower, a small herbaceous plant native to the northern hemisphere. John Curtis, FLS, was the esteemed entomologist and botanist behind this remarkable work, which was a significant contribution to the scientific community during the 19th century. The meticulous illustration provides an invaluable record of these species, showcasing the beauty and diversity of the Coleoptera order and the Linnaea plant. The image captures the essence of natural history exploration during the 1820s and 1830s, a time when the world's natural wonders were being discovered and documented in great detail. This print is an enduring testament to the curiosity and passion for the natural world that drove scholars of the past to explore and document the intricacies of the natural world.
