This image depicts several species of hawk moths: Tobacco worm, or Carolina sphinx, Manduca sexta (Linnaeus) (top left); Hog sphinx, or Virginia creeper sphinx, Darapsa myron (Cramer) (top right); White-lined sphinx, Hyles leneata (Fabricius) (middle); Tersa sphinx, Xylophanes tersa (Linnaeus) (bottom); surrounding a red morning-glory flower, Ipomoea coccinea (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. |
