EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration showcases Vanessa atlanta, commonly known as the Red Admiral butterfly, as depicted in Theo Johnson's "Illustrations of British Butterflies: with occasional figures of the larva, pupa, and food-plant" published in 1878. The Red Admiral is a striking member of the Nymphalidae family, characterized by its vibrant orange and black wings, with a white band and a row of red spots along the leading edge. Butterflies, as part of the Lepidoptera order, are renowned for their metamorphosis from caterpillars to adults. The Red Admiral's larvae, or caterpillars, are brown and long, with a distinct white line along their back and a series of small, brown spots. They feed on the leaves of various nettle species, making nettles their primary food plant. The Red Admiral is a migratory butterfly, with a wide distribution across Europe, North America, and North Africa. This species is often referred to as a 'four-footed butterfly' or 'brush-footed butterfly' due to the presence of small, pad-like structures on the underside of their thorax, which help them cling to surfaces. As an invertebrate, the Red Admiral, like all insects, is an integral part of the ecosystem, playing a crucial role in pollination and food chains. This illustration not only showcases the beauty of this remarkable creature but also highlights the intricate details of its life cycle, from its larval stage to its adult form. The Red Admiral is truly a testament to the diversity and complexity of the natural world.
