EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 8 from C. Flegel's "298 Water-colour Drawings of Insects and Larvae" (1622) presents a captivating illustration of salamanders, showcasing their unique and intriguing features. The plate, part of a comprehensive collection of natural history drawings, offers a detailed and accurate representation of these amphibians. Salamanders, belonging to the order Caudata and the class Amphibia, are characterized by their moist skin and the presence of glands that secrete mucus. In this illustration, several salamanders are depicted, including some with spiky protrusions along their backs. These spikes, which are not present in all salamander species, serve as a defense mechanism against predators. The salamanders in this plate are also members of the Lissamphibia, a group that includes both salamanders and frogs. They are further classified as Sauropsida, a clade that includes reptiles and birds, and as Lepidosauria, a subgroup of reptiles characterized by their scaly skin. More specifically, they are part of the Salamandridae family, which includes newts and true salamanders. The salamanders in the illustration are also members of the order Lacertilia, which includes lizards and their relatives. However, they differ from lizards in several ways, such as their moist skin and their ability to breathe through their skin. The salamanders in the plate are also diapsids, a subgroup of reptiles characterized by having two openings in the skull for the passage of the carotid artery and the mandibular nerve. This beautiful and intricate illustration not only showcases the diversity and complexity of the natural world, but also serves as a testament to the skill and dedication of the artist, C. Flegel. It offers a glimpse into the world of these fascinating creatures, which continue to captivate and inspire us to this day.
