Metamorphosis naturalis is a 1662 Dutch natural history of insects by Johannes Goedaert, edited by Johannes de Mey, published in Middelburg for a general readership of naturalists and collectors. Its hand-coloured plates show moths and other insects in dorsal and side views, with colour and wing patterns a designer could draw on for textile, pattern, or botanical-style illustration.
