I found the images of this book of Ernst Haeckel's 'Art Forms in Nature' on someone's blog by coincidence today. Ernst Haeckel created these stunning illustrations of creatures and life forms through studying them at great detail being an biologist, naturalist, philosopher and professor. I think it's extraordinary that he has made art from natural life that you would otherwise probably overlook. His detailed patterns remind me of the artist Katie Scott who' work I have recently looked at, also having a similar subject matter it has inspired me to look further into nature for some idea for geometric patterns.
