There was once a time when people thought that insects were ‘born of mud’ by spontaneous generation. Raise a glass to Maria Sibylla Merian who proved these people wrong. She did this by documenting evidence on the life cycles of 186 insects, and was among the first professionally trained artists to illustrate her lifelong studies and observations. She observed many of these insects in 1699, when she sold 255 of her own paintings to fund a trip for her and her daughter to Suriname. Merian was one of the first naturalists to observe insects directly, and made careful observations and documentation of the metamorphosis of the butterfly, making her one of the most significant contributors to entomology.

Continued support
I have and will continue to make purchases from cognitive surplus. Affordable and quality, and that’s hard to come buy now a days. I’ve bought myself, sister, sister in law, and two friends gifts form cognitive surplus. I plan to do my mom’s Mother’s Day shopping here!

Perfect Electrician's Bag
I love the whimsical ton of this bag and it's nod to science and history. My husband likes this size zipper bag to keep various electrical connections and cables for his job -- he'll know what's in it because of the print. Great and novel Xmas gift.
Great wrapping paper. I would prefer if it came separate, but they do an excellent job wrapping the item
