This captivating creature has been captured in stunning detail by renowned entomologist Curtis in his British Entomology Plate 530 and German moths colored engraving. One striking image (Picture No. 11993141) showcases an adult Buff-tip resting gracefully on a twig in Oxfordshire, England during the month of July. Its distinctive markings and intricate patterns are truly mesmerizing. In another photograph (Picture No. 11807205), we see this magnificent moth amidst cut twigs in Cannobina Valley, Italian Alps, Piedmont. The contrast between its soft buff-colored wings and the rugged surroundings creates a visually arresting scene.

Picture No. 11807203 displays newly hatched caterpillars of the Buff-tip gathered together, feeding on egg cases with great enthusiasm in Gorseinon, West Glamorgan. These caterpillars continue to grow into impressive specimens as shown in Picture No. 11807100 where they feast upon an Eared Sallow Bush -Salicetum auritae- located in Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany. The Buff-tip's life cycle is truly remarkable; from its humble beginnings as eggs to its transformation into these beautiful winged creatures that grace our landscapes.
