Eleanor Glanville

  • ... that 17th-century entomologist Eleanor Glanville raised her own moths and butterflies and wrote some of the earliest detailed descriptions of butterfly rearing? Source: "Glanville also reared butterflies and moths... Glanville herself described the early stages of the High Brown Fritillary and Green-veined White in one of the first detailed references to rearing butterflies." p107 [1]

Improved to Good Article status by Alanna the Brave (talk). Self-nominated at 20:54, 13 July 2022 (UTC).

Interesting life and work, good article on fine sources, subscription source accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. Suggestion for the article: about her children in the lead, I'd drop "only" - at the time 4 surviving to be adult out of 7 wasn't unusual, perhaps even above average. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:35, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
