Ah yes, this might look slightly familiar. On 2 April 2013, Merian was honoured with a Google Doodle, in celebration of her 366th birthday.
Till yesterday, i had no idea Merian existed. Thank you Google for making me stumble upon her!
Her work brings back childhood memories of colouring avian, flora and insect field guides! I loved to colour and i love to learn and experience my surroundings here and abroad.
And the details! Here we see a blue honey-creeper on a thistle, and below there are copulating snails!
