EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured stipple engraving, titled "Malachite, beetle, net-winged," is a captivating display of various beetle species, meticulously rendered by the skilled hand of Pancrace Bessa for Charles Malos' Les Insectes publication in 1820. The engraving showcases an array of beetles, including Malachius bipustulatus, or the Malachite beetle, with its vibrant green exoskeleton and intricately patterned elytra. Net-winged beetles, represented by Lycus melanurus and Lycus punctatus, are depicted with their distinctive transparent wings folded back, revealing their intricate wing pads. Saperda punctata and Saperda species are also featured, with their distinctive, striped exoskeletons. Trichodes octopunctatus and Trichodes apiarius, both members of the Carabidae family, are shown with their robust bodies and distinctive markings. The engraving also includes a variety of other beetle species, such as Cicindela sinuata, Campestris sexguttata, Nitidula nitidula, Sanguinolenta sanguinolenta, Anthrenus fascie, Verbasci varied, and Tiger beetles. This exquisite work of art, published by Louis Janet in Paris, is a testament to the intricacy and diversity of the beetle world. The handcoloured stipple engraving technique, which involves the use of a sharp point to create tiny dots, adds depth and texture to the image, bringing the beetles to life in a way that a simple photograph cannot. The engraving is a valuable addition to any entomology collection or scientific study, providing a detailed and accurate record of these fascinating insects.
