EUGÈNE LE MOULT (31 December 1882, Quimper – 26 January 1965, Paris) was the world’s most famous butterfly-hunter and owned the largest private collection.

He was as famous for hunting butterflies as he was for his custom-made wardrobe. He had these clothes tailored for himself to wear on the ocean-liner to South America, and when hunting and sleeping in the jungle.
