This book by Louise M. Budgen, published 1849-1851 describes the natural history of insects through stories. Budgen wrote it under the pseudonym Acheta Domestica, the scientific name of the house cricket.

The Victorian blocked binding shows a house cricket reciting one of the tales.

These watercolour paintings of insects were made by Sri Lankan artists William and George de Alwis around 1834.

Their drawings were considered so true to form that between 1849 and 1880 the Governor of Ceylon employed them to draw the moths and butterflies of the country from nature.

Integrated Pest Management allows heritage sites to monitor and manage pests to prevent damage to the collections.

We admire and appreciate the important role that wee beasties play in our eco system, but we don't want them munching on our historical collections if possible!

Maria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717) was the first woman to describe and study the life cycle and metamorphoses of butterflies and other insects. Her first book, The Miraculous Transformation and Unusual Flower-Food of Caterpillars contained over 50 plates, engraved from her own observations
