White Stemmed Gum Moths (Chelepteryx collesi). SciArt by Harriet Scott (1830-1907). She created this illustration for Australian Lepidoptera and their Transformations, drawn from the life by Harriet and Helena Scott, Vol. 1 (1864), which was authored by their father, Alexander Walter Scott. The Scott Sisters became very well-known in Australia for their natural history illustrations.
