A great example is Maria Sibylla Merian, the 17th c German illustrator, who was a pioneer in scientific accuracy, showing many stages of life of various species in her work.
In 1679 naturalist & illustrator Maria Merian published "The Wondrous Transformation of Caterpillars", the first work looking at animal-plant relationships, making her the first ecologist. She was also the first to record insect metamorphosis. #WomenInSTEM https://t.co/N1sbpNvPUU
