EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from Curtis's British Entomology, Plate 120, featuring the Hymenopteran insect species Alomya victor, now known as Alomya debellator, also referred to as the Scotch Alomya. The photograph showcases the intricate details of this impressive insect's body structure, with its distinctively elongated antennae and vibrant, contrasting wing patterns. The Alomya debellator is a member of the family Ledipoteridae, and is commonly found in Europe and North America. This particular specimen is shown in its natural habitat, perched atop the delicate leaves of Trientalis europaea, also known as Chickweed Wintergreen, a low-growing plant native to Europe and Asia. John Curtis, FLS, was a renowned British entomologist and botanist, who dedicated his life to the study and documentation of various insect species. His extensive work on British entomology spanned the 1820s and 1830s, during the 19th century. This plate, along with many others, is a testament to his remarkable contributions to the scientific community. The Hymenoptera order, to which the Alomya debellator belongs, includes a diverse range of insects, including bees, ants, and wasps. The intricate wing structures and complex body morphology of these insects make them a fascinating subject for study and observation. This beautiful and historic print offers a glimpse into the natural world of the past, highlighting the intricate relationships between different species and the importance of meticulous documentation and observation in the field of science.
