EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 26 from Illustrations of British Butterflies and Their Larvae, with the Plants on Which They Feed, features a captivating image of the Small Tortoiseshell butterfly, Aglais urticae, also known as Aglais io or simply Agalis. This exquisite illustration, created by Theo Johnson in 1892, showcases the intricate details of this beautiful Lepidopteran species. The Small Tortoiseshell is a brush-footed butterfly, belonging to the Nymphalidae family and the order Lepidoptera. It is a common and widespread insect in Europe and Asia, with a wingspan ranging from 5 to 7 centimeters. The upper wings of this butterfly are a vibrant orange with black markings, while the underside is a dull brown, making it an excellent camouflage against the forest floor. The Small Tortoiseshell is also known as the Four-footed Butterfly due to the appearance of its hindwings when they are at rest, which resemble tiny legs or feet. This insect is an important pollinator, and its larvae feed on the leaves of various plants, including nettles, as depicted in this illustration. Theo Johnson's illustration captures the essence of the Small Tortoiseshell's beauty and intricacy, providing a glimpse into the fascinating world of British butterflies and their larvae. The illustration also highlights the importance of understanding the relationship between these insects and the plants they rely on for survival. Overall, this image is a testament to the natural history of the British Isles and the beauty of the Lepidoptera order.
