This image depicts several species of sulphur and yellow butterflies: Dogface butterfly, Zerene cesonia (Stoll) (top left); Sleepy orange butterfly, Eurema nicippe (Cramer) (top right); Cloudless sulphur butterfly, Phoebis sennae (Linnaeus) (middle and middle right); Barred yellow butterfly, Eurema daira (Godart) (bottom left); Little yellow butterfly, Eurema lisa (Boisduval and LeConte) (bottom middle and 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. |
