Maria Sibylla Merian (1647 – 1717) was a German artist and entomologist who studied plants and insects and made detailed drawings of them. As far as we know, she was the first to draw insects together with the plant on which they feed.
Der Raupen wunderbare Verwandlung und sonderbare Blumennahrung (also known as the Caterpillar Book) is her second work. The first two parts appeared in German in 1679 and 1683. The book received great scholarly interest and made Merian famous. Ultimately, the work was reprinted in 1730 in Dutch (De Europische insects) and French (Histoire des insectes de l'Europe).
