Scabious with geometrid moths, caterpillars and pupae, after 1683. Maria Sibylla Merian had gathered so much material over the years that, in volume two of her Caterpillar Book of 1683, she took to depicting several metamorphoses on a single plant. Here, for example, we see the developmental stages of two different butterflies.
