This print showcases the mesmerizing transformation of a giant sphinx moth amidst the vibrant blooms of a Belly-ache bush (Jatropha gossypifolia). The image is derived from Maria Sybilla Meriaen's renowned work, "Over de voortteeling en wonderbaerlyke veranderingen der Surinaemsche insecten" (On the reproduction and miraculous transformations of Surinamese insects), published in 1719. The delicate hand-colored engraving beautifully captures the intricate details of both the plant and its enchanting visitor. The Belly-ache bush, with its lush green foliage and clusters of vivid red flowers, serves as an alluring backdrop for this natural spectacle. As we gaze upon it, we witness nature's remarkable ability to metamorphose.

Her groundbreaking work not only documented these wondrous creatures but also shed light on their life cycles and ecological importance.
