Marie-Aimée Lullin

Marie-Aimée Lullin (5 April 1751 – 21 January 1822) was the wife of a Swiss entomologist.

On 28 April 1776 she married the naturalist François Huber (1750-1831), who was blind. Together with his wife Marie-Aimée acting as his "eyes," and a servant, François Burnens, François Huber carried out investigations that laid the foundations of a scientific knowledge of the life history of the honey bee.

One of the craters of Venus is named for her.
