Stoll devoted his studies to bugs (hemiptera) and published several entomology works, including contributing to Pieter Cramer’s work. Natuurlyke depicted insects from all around the globe including Surinam, the Cape of Good Hope, and the Coromandel coast. It was "the first serious scientific work on these groups of insects."
