EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, taken from John Curtis's seminal work "British Entomology," showcases the intricate relationship between the Lapland Cockroach (Blatta lapponica, now identified as Ectobius lapponicus) and the Sea Lung-wort (Mertensia maritima, also known as Pulmonaria maritima) in the 1820s-1830s. The entomological plate, published during the 19th century by John Curtis, FLS, is a testament to the meticulous detail and scientific precision of the time. The Lapland Cockroach, a member of the Blattodea order, is depicted in the foreground, its elongated, winged body and antennae clearly visible. This cockroach, native to the Arctic regions, is an interesting adaptation to the harsh, cold climate, with a pale, almost translucent appearance that allows it to blend in with the snow. In the background, the delicate Sea Lung-wort plant, with its distinctive blue and purple flowers, adds a splash of color to the otherwise monochromatic image. This plant, a member of the Boraginaceae family, is native to coastal areas of Europe and Asia, and is known for its medicinal properties, particularly in treating respiratory issues. The interplay between the Lapland Cockroach and the Sea Lung-wort highlights the intricate web of connections that exist between different species in the natural world. This image, a product of the 1820s-1830s, serves as a reminder of the importance of documenting and understanding the natural world, and the role that scientific exploration plays in advancing our knowledge and appreciation of the natural world.
