EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning array of beetles, each with its own unique beauty and charm. In the foreground, we are introduced to the Burying beetle, Nicrophorus humator, known for its distinctive black coloration and fascinating burial habits. Alongside it are the carrion beetles Necrodes littoralis and Dendroxena quadrimaculata, their iridescent bodies shimmering under the light. Moving towards the center of the composition, our attention is drawn to the carpet beetle Anthrenus scrophulariae. Its intricate patterns and vibrant colors make it a true marvel of nature's design. Finally, we encounter Hister quadrimaculatus var. , also known as reniformis - a species that stands out with its four distinct spots on its back. This handcoloured steel engraving by William Lizars captures these remarkable creatures in exquisite detail. The artist's skillful rendering brings out every minute feature of these insects' anatomy while preserving their natural allure. James Duncan's Natural History of Beetles serves as an invaluable resource for entomologists and zoologists alike.
