The "Pale Clouded Yellow" is a stunning German day-butterfly that has captivated the hearts of butterfly enthusiasts for centuries. Its beauty is immortalized in various illustrations, such as those found in the book "Butterflies, " which showcases different types of butterflies through colored engravings dating back to 1783-1806. One can't help but be mesmerized by these delicate creatures, as depicted in a color lithograph from around 1860. The vibrant hues and intricate details bring these butterflies to life on paper.
