Having a lovely afternoon reading '#Archives of Natural History'. One of the papers is about the illustrations in John Curtis's 'British Entomology' some of my favourite illustrations of insects! Had you guessed that already? @ZSLLibrary often tweet images from these volumes.
Spent part of today looking for a particular #lithograph in this book written by ZSL's former Secretary, Philip Lutley Sclater. Published in 1862 with beautiful #sciart by John Jennens. Jennens also provided illustrations for ZSL's Proceedings & Transactions, now @JZoology
Born #OTD 1647 the wonderful Maria Sibylla Merian, entomologist, scientific traveller, #HERper, artist.

Ending #InsectWeek with the wonderful Maria Sibylla Merian, 1647-1717. German-born entomologist & artist, one of our earliest known women scientific travellers. More about her, other #womenartists & #SciArt in my guest post for @NoteArtHerstory: https://t.co/min1kI02XE #WomensArt
As it is @InsectWeek I am going to celebrate the contributions of women from the past to the development of entomology - scientists, explorers, artists and illustrators. I will tweet each day about a different woman. 🐝🦋🪲🐜🦗🪰
