description This image depicts several hairstreak, blue, and azure butterflies perched on yellow indiangrass, Sorghastrum nutans (Linnaeus): Banded hairstreak, Satyrium calanus (Hubner) (top left); Eastern tailed blue, Everes comyntas (Godart) (top middle); Spring azure, Celastrina argiolus (Cramer) (top right); Red-banded hairstreak, Calycopis cecrops (Fabricius) (middle right); and Southern hairstreak, Satyrium favonius favonius (J. E. Smith) (bottom right).In 1838, English naturalist Philip Henry Gosse created a portfolio of watercolor miniatures for the insects of Alabama he observed while visiting the state. Gosse was one of the 19th Century's foremost naturalists. He called his portfolio Entomologia Alabamensis, which was never formally published and is now held by the British Library. This image from the portfolio was made from a color transparency purchased from the British Library in 1993.
