Reproduction of a scientific engraving representing three specimens of the neuropteran order, including the Ascalaphus libelluloides and Myrmeleon libelluloides. The plate highlights the delicacy of the membranous wings and the anatomical precision of the insects against a neutral background characteristic of 19th-century naturalist works.
This illustration is taken from the Dictionnaire Universel d'Histoire Naturelle directed by Charles d'Orbigny. It bears witness to the excellence of scientific engraving of the period, combining academic rigor and classical aesthetics to document insect biodiversity with great finesse of line.
This naturalist plate is part of a collection of historical reproductions. It allows for a detailed observation of the morphology of specific species and constitutes a precious visual testimony for lovers of entomology and the history of natural sciences.
