EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from Curtis's British Entomology, Plate 596, featuring the stunning Hymenopteran species, Stenocera walkeri, also known as Stenoceroides walkeri. The intricately detailed illustration, created between 1824 and 1839, was produced during the 19th century by the skilled hand of John Fleming, FLS. The Hymenopteran order, to which Stenocera walkeri belongs, includes ants, bees, wasps, and sawflies. The Stenocera species are characterized by their metallic sheen and slender bodies. In this particular illustration, the insect's iridescent green wings are spread wide, revealing the intricate patterns on its thorax and abdomen. The plant depicted in the background is Rosa x hibernica, also known as the Belfast Rose. This beautiful rose, native to Northern Ireland, adds a touch of natural elegance to the image. The combination of the vibrant rose and the delicate, shimmering wings of the Stenocera walkeri creates a harmonious balance between the floral and the insect world. Curtis's British Entomology was a significant publication during the 1800s, documenting a wide range of insect species found in Britain. This plate, in particular, showcases the exquisite detail and accuracy that was achieved through the meticulous work of the illustrators and natural historians of the time. The image remains an impressive testament to the natural history of the British Isles and the dedication of those who documented it.
