EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from Curtis's British Entomology, Plate 625, featuring the Hemiptera species Livilla ulicis, commonly known as the Downy Shieldbug, and the plant Helictotrichon pubescens, also known as Downy Oat-grass or Pubescent Oat-grass (Avena or Trisetum pubescens). The plate, which dates back to the 1820s and 1830s, is a testament to the intricate detail and beauty of natural history illustration during the 19th century. The Downy Shieldbug, a member of the family Ledipodidae, is depicted in its characteristic position with its wings held open, revealing the intricate patterns on its exoskeleton. The adult insect is approximately 13mm in length and is typically found in wooded areas, hedgerows, and along the edges of water. The Downy Oat-grass, a type of grass commonly found in Europe, is shown in its natural habitat, with the Downy Shieldbug perched on its stem. The grass is characterized by its fine, silky hairs, which give it a downy appearance. It is an important food source for many insects, including the Downy Shieldbug, and is often used in livestock grazing and for erosion control. This beautiful plate was produced by the renowned natural history illustrator John Fleming, who was responsible for many of the illustrations in Curtis's British Entomology. The meticulous attention to detail and the high-quality production techniques used in the creation of this plate are evident in the clear, crisp lines and vibrant colors. This image provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of the past and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and documenting the natural world for future generations.
