EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the Sarosesthes fulminans beetle, also known as the Fulminant Longicorn or the Electric Longicorn beetle. Belonging to the Cerambyx genus and the Coleoptera order, this beetle is a true marvel of the insect world. The Sarosesthes fulminans beetle is native to Central and South America and is known for its vibrant, electric-blue coloration. The beetle's exoskeleton is adorned with intricate patterns and textures, making it a popular subject among entomologists and natural history enthusiasts. This beautiful illustration was created by the renowned English natural history artist, James Sowerby, for his publication, "The British Miscellany, or Coloured figures of new, rare, or little known animal subjects," published in London in 1804. Sowerby was a leading figure in the field of zoological illustration during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, and his meticulous attention to detail is evident in this exquisite engraving. The Sarosesthes fulminans beetle is not only visually captivating but also has an interesting behavior. When disturbed, it is capable of producing an electric shock, making it a fascinating subject for further scientific study. This illustration not only serves as a beautiful work of art but also contributes to the advancement of zoological knowledge during the time. Overall, this handcoloured copperplate engraving is a testament to the natural beauty and intrigue of the Sarosesthes fulminans beetle, as well as the skill and dedication of James Sowerby as a natural history artist.
