EDITORS COMMENTS
Merops ornatus, also known as the Rainbow Bee-eater, is a stunningly beautiful bird species belonging to the Meropidae family, order Coraciiformes. This exquisite illustration of Merops ornatus is taken from the Latham Collection, Volume 3, plate 368. The Latham Collection, compiled by John Latham (1740-1837), is an important historical archive of zoological illustrations. The Rainbow Bee-eater is native to Africa south of the Sahara desert. It is characterized by its iridescent plumage, with vibrant colors ranging from green, blue, and purple to orange and red. The bird's long, curved beak is an adaptation for catching its prey, which consists mainly of insects, particularly bees and wasps. This illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of the Rainbow Bee-eater, capturing its beauty and intricacies in exquisite detail. The artist's skillful use of shading and color creates a sense of depth and texture, bringing the bird to life on the page. The illustration also includes a detailed description of the bird's anatomy, providing valuable information for ornithological research. The Latham Collection is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of zoological illustration and the natural history of the Rainbow Bee-eater. This illustration is a testament to the artistry and scientific rigor of the time, offering a window into the natural world of over two centuries ago.
