行生物，诸如蜘蛛、蜥蜴、蟾蜍，当然还有昆虫，都是些身形微小、令人发痒的小生灵。长久以来，这类动物始终背负着负面形象——中世纪时期，它们多与死亡和魔鬼相关联。直到十六至十七世纪，这种观念才开始转变，它们逐渐成为人们关注的焦点。世人开始欣赏其独特之美：它们既现身于艺术创作中，成为学术专著的研究对象，更是风靡一时的收藏珍品。阿尔布雷希特·丢勒、文策尔·雅姆尼策、扬·范·凯塞尔、玛丽亚·西比拉·梅里安等艺术家，皆以精妙笔触赋予这些小生灵艺术生命力。直至今日，它们仍在激发艺术家的创作灵感，促使人们以全新视角审视昆虫与自然世界。

 

Crawly creatures are small, itchy critters, spiders, lizards, toads, and of course insects. For a long time, these animals have suffered from a negative image; in the Middle Ages they were mainly associated with death and the devil. In the 16th and 17th centuries, this changed and they became the centre of attention. People started to appreciate their beauty; so they appeared in artworks, became the subject of scholarly treatises, and were popular collectors' items. Artists such as Albrecht Dürer, Wenzel Jamnitzer, Jan van Kessel, and Maria Sibylla Merian managed to depict these creatures beautifully. Today, artists are still inspired by them and are finding new ways to address insects and the natural world.
