description This image depicts two Southern pearly eye butterflies, Enodia portlandia (Fabricius) (upper two), and two forms of the common wood nymph, Cercyonis pegala (Fabricius), sitting on a coral bean stalk, Erythrina herbacea (Linnaeus).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.
