EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is a reproduction of Curtis British Entomology Plate 152, featuring the Lepidoptera species, Glyphipteryx linneella, also known as Linaeus' Spangle-wing or Cosmet. The intricately detailed butterfly is depicted gracefully perched on the leaves of Herb Robert (Geranium robertianum), a common wild geranium native to Europe and Asia. The plate, published between 1824 and 1839, is part of the extensive work by John Obadiah Westwood and J.S. Fauvel under the supervision of John Curtis, FLS. The meticulous illustrations in the Curtis British Entomology series were produced to provide an accurate record of the natural history of the insects in Britain during the 19th century. The Lepidoptera order, which includes moths and butterflies, is one of the largest orders in the animal kingdom, and the Spangle-wing species, with its distinctive wing patterns, is a beautiful example of the diversity found within this group. This image offers a glimpse into the natural history of the past, showcasing the delicate beauty of the Linaeus' Spangle-wing and the vibrant Herb Robert, both of which continue to captivate naturalists and enthusiasts alike.
