notes:
Title from description on facing page. A new edition, with 12 additional plates and corresponding text, 10 provided by the author's daughters from material left at her death, and 2 supplied by Albert Seba; also, a frontispiece has been added. The original paintings were executed by Maria Merian herself; the prints were executed by others. Printmaker is probably Pieter Sluyter (1675-p. 1713). The insect that is described as eating cochineal may actually be the one from which the dye is made.
