EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning image is a rare and captivating glimpse into the natural history of the past, featuring the Ringed Diamond-back or Annulated Smudge butterfly, Cerostoma annulatella (now Rhigognostis annulatella, Lepidoptera), perched gracefully on the petals of the Goldilocks Ranunculus, Ranunculus auricomus. The photograph is taken from John Curtis's seminal work, "British Entomology," published between 1824 and 1839. Curtis's meticulously detailed plates showcased the diverse and intricate beauty of British insects, and this particular plate, number 420, is no exception. The Ringed Diamond-back, with its distinctive black and white wings adorned with intricate diamond patterns, is captured in exquisite detail, its delicate wings spread wide against the vibrant yellow background of the Goldilocks Ranunculus. The Annulated Smudge was once considered a separate species, Cerostoma annulatella, but was later reclassified as a subspecies of the Diamond-back Moth, Rhigognostis annulatella. This butterfly is native to Europe and Asia and is known for its distinctive markings, which help it blend in with the leaves and twigs of its woodland habitat. The Goldilocks Ranunculus, also known as the Lesser Celandine or Fig Buttercup, is a charming and delicate flower that thrives in woodlands and along streams. Its bright yellow petals and distinctive shape have made it a popular subject in botanical illustrations throughout history. This beautiful and intriguing image offers a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of the 19th century, showcasing the exquisite detail and beauty of both the butterfly and the plant, and the skill of the naturalist and illustrator who captured them for posterity.
