Plate 35 from Insects of India by Edward Donovan: A Vibrant Display of Papilio Hippona, Papilio Cyane, and Papilio Coenobita This stunning print, titled "Plate 35," is a captivating illustration from Insects of India, a seminal work by the renowned naturalist Edward Donovan. Donovan, born in 1768, was an English zoologist and artist who spent a significant portion of his career in India, meticulously documenting the country's diverse fauna. His work, published between 1805 and 1837, remains a valuable resource for entomologists and natural history enthusiasts. The illustrated trio in this plate features three species of swallowtail butterflies from the Papilionidae family: Papilio hippona, Papilio cyane, and Papilio coenobita. These exquisite lepidopterans, native to the Asian continent, are celebrated for their vibrant colors and intricate patterns. Papilio hippona, also known as the Common Tiger Swallowtail, boasts a yellow base with black stripes and large, eye-catching orange spots. Papilio cyane, or the Blue Mormon, is characterized by its iridescent blue wings adorned with black veins and white spots. Lastly, Papilio coenobita, or the Common Mormon, boasts a striking orange and black pattern on its wings. Donovan's masterful illustration showcases these butterflies in their natural splendor, providing a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of India. The intricate details and lifelike accuracy of the artwork are a testament to Donovan's skill as both an artist and a naturalist. This print is not only an essential addition to any collection of natural history art but also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the world's diverse insect populations.
