Johann Kaspar Füssli

Johann Kaspar Füssli, also written Johann Caspar Fuesslins or Fuessly (9 March 1743 – 4 May 1786), was a Swiss painter, entomologist and publisher.

Johann Kaspar Füssli

He was born in Zurich, the son of Johann Caspar Füssli (3 January 1706 – 6 May 1782) and Anna Elisabeth Waser. He was thus the brother of Henry Fuseli (Johann Heinrich Füssli) (3 December 1745 – 17 April 1825).

  • He married:
    • Verena Störi in 1770
    • Anna Elisabeth Kilchsperger in 1774.

The only spider species he described (as Fuesslin, 1775) is the daddy long-legs spider, Pholcus phalangioides, also known as cellar spider.[1]

He died, aged 43, in Winterthur.

gollark: It isn't just formatting. For stupid historical reasons, there are two units, GiB (gibibytes, 2^30 bytes) and GB (gigabytes, 10^9 bytes) which software and people will happily mix up all the time.
