Geometrid Moth (Pelham Bay salt marshes)
The caterpillars of the moth lack a few pair of prolegs and have resorted to the familiar "inchworm" mode of locomotion. In Spring they are an important food source for migratory birds.
About Our Art Prints
Signed art prints donated by three extraordinary artists are available for purchase in our art prints store, to support the programs we are engaged in. The prints include, among others, "Last Turn Your Turn" created by Robert Rauschenberg for the Earth Summit, Christo sketches of "The Gates,” a public art event by Christo and his wife Jeanne Claude that drew millions to Central Park, and "Manifest Destiny," by Alexis Rockman, showing New York City underwater in the future as a result of climate change.
