520    "The Flowering of Ecology presents an English translation 
       of Maria Sybilla Merian's 1679 'caterpillar' book, Der 
       Raupen wunderbare Verwandelung und sonderbare Blumen-
       Nahrung. Her processes in making the book and an analysis 
       of its scientific content are presented in a historical 
       context. Merian raised insects for five decades, recording
       the food plants, behavior and ecology of roughly 300 
       species. Her most influential invention was an 
       "ecological" composition, where the metamorphic cycles of 
       insects (usually moths and butterflies) were arrayed 
       around plants that served as food for the caterpillars. 
       Kay Etheridge analyses the 1679 caterpillar book from the 
       viewpoint of a biologist, arguing that that Merian's study
       of insect interactions with plants, the first of its kind,
       was a formative contribution to natural history"--
