George Vernon Hudson (1867–1946) was a British-born entomologist and astronomer who emigrated to New Zealand in his youth. With a profound interest in natural history, Hudson became an influential figure in the study of New Zealand's indigenous insect fauna. His seminal work, 'New Zealand Moths and Butterflies (Macro-Lepidoptera)' published in 1898, stands out as a comprehensive treatise on the subject and laid the groundwork for future lepidopterists studying the region's diverse species. Hudson's meticulous observations and artistic illustrations within the text were not only valuable to scientific communities but also to readers with general interests in nature. His research contributed significantly to the understanding of New Zealand's endemic species at a time when such information was scarce. Aside from his entomological pursuits, Hudson is also remembered for proposing daylight saving time, demonstrating his broad intellectual efforts and impact on society. Although steeped in the Victorian era of natural history exploration, Hudson's work continues to resonate, providing crucial historical data for present-day conservation efforts. His literary style is distinguished by detailed descriptions and methodical classification, reflecting the scholarly rigor of his era. Hudson's dedication to his field earned him membership in the Royal Society of New Zealand, cementing his legacy as a respected natural historian and scientist.
