EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored engraving, created by Fournier after an original illustration by Blanchard for Charles d'Orbigny's Dictionnaire Universel d'Histoire Naturelle (Universal Dictionary of Natural History) published in Paris in 1849, showcases a fascinating collection of wasp species. The central figure is the Great Banded Wasp, Vespa tropica (previously known as Vespa cincta), with its distinctive black and yellow banded abdomen and formidable mandibles. To the left, a Solitary Wasp, Eumenes flavopictus, is depicted. This wasp species is known for its slender body and bright yellow markings. The Stizus speciosus, illustrated to the right, is a robust wasp with a metallic green exoskeleton and prominent mandibles. In the bottom left corner, the Chlorion lobatum is shown. This wasp species is characterized by its large size, with a body length of up to 30mm, and its unique, lobed hindwings. The intricate details of their exoskeletons and the vibrant colors used in the handcoloring make these wasps appear lifelike and captivating. This engraving is a testament to the meticulous work of the naturalists and artists of the 19th century, who dedicated their time and resources to documenting the natural world in stunning detail. The wasps depicted in this image are just a few examples of the vast diversity of species that can be found in the natural world, and serve as a reminder of the importance of preserving and studying the natural world for future generations.
