A yellow caterpillar 

"A Yellow Caterpillar" is a watercolor drawing by Herman Henstenburgh, a Dutch painter known for his meticulous depictions of insects and plants. Created in the late 17th or early 18th century, the artwork showcases a single caterpillar in striking detail, its yellow and black segments and bristly body rendered with great precision. Henstenburgh's careful observation of nature is evident in the realistic portrayal of the caterpillar's anatomy and texture. The artwork's simplicity and focus on a small, often overlooked creature highlight the beauty and wonder of the natural world. The piece is currently held in the Städel Museum, offering a glimpse into the artist's meticulous approach to scientific illustration.
