SUMMARY:Butterfly Habitat by Albert Rhea
DESCRIPTION:Butterfly Habitat by Albert Rhea \nOctober 10 through November 16\, 2026\nOpen daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (last entry at 4 p.m.)\nIncluded with paid garden admission. Free for garden members. \nArtist Statement \nThere are many butterflies–475 species alone in North America\, making them the second largest group in the animal kingdom\, second to beetles. And because of their numbers\, we do not see their importance. Environmentalists know that because the butterfly is so fragile\, it is an important indicator of the entire ecosystem–and that includes humans. The Xerces Society\, a butterfly preservation group\, puts it this way: “Butterflies\, since they are so conspicuous and ecologically vulnerable\, serve as excellent indicators of ecosystem health”. Dr. Paul Opler\, at the Office of Endangered Species\, states that it is not butterfly collectors who have caused the species to become endangered\, but rather housing development and urban sprawl. Most butterflies depend on a solitary plant for their food. If land is bulldozed and plants destroyed\, the butterflies disappear – forever. Study land use policies near you and be alert for habitat destruction. Ask yourself\, “How are butterflies faring in my community?”. \nAbout the Artist \nAn Omaha native\, Albert Rhea has been interested in photography since high school. His father was a wildlife photographer\, and Albert still uses some of his equipment today. He is carrying on his father’s interest in wildlife photography in his butterfly habitat series. To Albert\, wildlife photography is magical because it takes him into a universe of vibrant colors\, exquisite details and extraordinary patterns. This is especially the case when shooting birds and butterflies\, which provide an incredible variety of shapes and colors that could potentially keep him engaged for a lifetime. \nTo find out more about the artist\, visit albertrhea.com \nLauritzen Gardens proudly provides a platform for local artists\, showcasing botanical artwork inspired by our collections and celebrating the connection between art\, nature\, and our community.
