EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Triple Encounter in the Australian Wild: Sea Pen, Spider Wasp, and Long-Nosed Bandicoot" 2. Description: This hand-colored steel engraving, created by du Casse after an original illustration by Adolph Fries for the "Dictionnaire Pittoresque d'Histoire Naturelle" (Picturesque Dictionary of Natural History) published in Paris between 1834 and 1839, showcases an intriguing encounter between three distinct Australian species: the Sea Pen (Pennatula phosphorea), Spider Wasp (Pepsis limbata), and Long-Nosed Bandicoot (Perameles nasuta). 3. Sea Pen (1): The Sea Pen, also known as the Tube Sponge, is a marine invertebrate belonging to the class Hexactinellida. It is characterized by its long, slender, and branching structure, which resembles a quill or a pen. The Sea Pen is known for its bioluminescent properties, making it a fascinating subject for naturalists and marine enthusiasts. 4. Spider Wasp (2): The Spider Wasp, a member of the family Pompilidae, is a predatory wasp that hunts spiders for food. In this illustration, the wasp is shown in an aggressive stance, possibly preparing to sting its prey. The Spider Wasp is known for its distinctive appearance, with long, slender legs and a slender body. 5. Long-Nosed Bandicoot (3): The Long-Nosed Bandicoot is a marsupial native to Australia. It is characterized by its long, pointed snout, which helps it to forage efficiently for roots, tubers, and insects. The Long-Nosed Bandicoot is an important food source for many Australian predators, including dingoes and quolls. 6. The illustration beautifully captures the unique characteristics of each species and provides a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the Australian ecosystem. This engraving is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the naturalists and illustrators of the 19th century.
