Henry Doubleday was an English entomologist and ornithologist closely associated with Epping Forest. He wrote a catalogue of British butterflies and moths, and named a number of new species of moth, including the pigmy footman, Ashworth's rustic and marsh oblique-barred. His moth collection remains intact at the Natural History Museum.
