A proto-feminist illustrator of Surinamese bugs

This has nothing to do with Bali, but I want you to know about Maria Sibylla Merian, a seventeenth-centry German woman who lived in Holland, and travelled, especially to Dutch Guiana (now Surinam), drawing, and then etching, exquisite botanical illustrations, infested with bugs. There is a hardback book titled "Merian" floating around relatively cheaply. I am going to buy one, cut it up, frame the bits, and hang them on the wall.
