Swammerdam therefore dispelled the seventeenth-century notion of metamorphosis —the idea that different life stages of an insect (e.g. caterpillar and butterfly) represent different individuals[7] or a sudden change from one type of animal to another.[8] John Ray, author of the 1705 Historia insectorum, praised Swammerdam' methods, they were "the best of all".[9] Though Swammerdam's work on insects and anatomy was significant, many current histories remember him as much for his methods and skill with microscopes as for his discoveries. Wikisource has the text of a 1905 New International Encyclopedia article about "Jan Swammerdam".
