EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from John Curtis's seminal work, "British Entomology," specifically plate 712, which was published between 1824 and 1839. The entomological plate features a stunning representation of the Odonate species, Libellula rubicunda, which is now believed to be more accurately identified as Leucorrhinia dubia. The dragonfly is depicted in intricate detail, its vibrant red coloration and distinctive facial markings captured with remarkable precision. The plant accompanying the dragonfly is identified as Carex digitata, commonly known as Fingered Sedge. This aquatic plant, with its slender, digitated leaves, provides an ideal habitat for the dragonfly, as it thrives in damp environments. The 19th century was a time of great advancement in the field of entomology, and Curtis's work was instrumental in documenting and classifying a vast array of insects, including this beautiful dragonfly. The plate is a testament to the meticulous work of Curtis and his team, who dedicated themselves to the accurate recording and illustration of the natural world. The intricate details of the dragonfly's exoskeleton, the delicate textures of the plant, and the artful composition of the plate all serve to transport us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of the natural world as it was observed and documented over 180 years ago.
