EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 13 from Larvae and Pupae of British Lepidoptera, published in 1878, features stunning illustrations of two exquisite British butterflies: the Inachis io, commonly known as the European Peacock butterfly, and the Vanessa atalanta, or the Red Admiral. The Peacock butterfly, with its vibrant blue, green, and gold wings adorned with eye-like spots, resembles its avian namesake, the peacock. This large, brush-footed butterfly belongs to the family Nymphalidae and is native to Europe, North Africa, and western Asia. The Red Admiral, on the other hand, is a medium-sized, four-footed butterfly with wings that display an intricate pattern of red, black, and white. This beautiful insect is a member of the Nymphalidae family as well, and is native to Europe, North America, and Asia. The Red Admiral is known for its remarkable ability to migrate long distances, making it a fascinating subject for naturalists and collectors. Theo Johnson's meticulous illustrations of these two species showcase the intricate details of their larvae and pupae, providing valuable insights into their life cycles. The illustrations offer a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of British insects during the late 19th century, and continue to captivate and inspire naturalists, artists, and collectors today.
