This is a limited edition print of the spotted lanternfly, an invasive species that is new to the East Coast of the United States. Although they are a pest I think they are a very dapper and worthy of an illustration. I have read that these lantern flies like grape vines and hops plants so I have something in common with them. Their favorite tree is allegedly the Tree-of-Heaven, a tree so closely associated with Brooklyn, that is referred to in the title of “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn”.

This print is on heavy weight paper and measures 11” wide, and 14” high. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this art print will be donated to the Central Park Conservancy to help them manage their efforts at Lanternfly mitigation.
