Monarch Butterfly
(Pelham Bay Park, September)
A butterfly resting in a dried flower of a wild carrot - Queen Anne's Lace. Monarchs migrate through New York City on way to central Mexico. As Caterpillars, Monarchs feed on poisonous milkweed plants, sequestering the plant's poison to use as their own chemical defense against predatory 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.
