With her drawings #MariaSibyllaMerian broke the scientific molds of the time. In 1705 she published her masterpiece Metamorphosis insectorum Surinamensium, which greatly impressed #Linnaeus, who drew on Merian's observations for some of his Systema Naturae texts. #SciArt #HistSci

Maria Sibylla Merian’s book on the Insects of Suriname was a game changer - a book about the insects, their life cycles, their host plants, what they feed on & what feeds on them - 60 species & over 90 animals were studied.
She was a #trailblazer & so had many critics 🧵Pt.1
