Created in 1771, this masterpiece takes us on a journey through the intricate world of insects and plants. The image portrays a larva, specifically that of a night butterfly, delicately perched on various plants. Maria Sibylla Merian was a remarkable artist and naturalist who dedicated her life to studying the wonders of nature.
