Many species of bark beetles have long overstayed their welcome due to changes in climate.  On Long Island the Southern pine beetle has killed off many stands of pitch pine in our beloved Pine Barrens.  Their beautifully intricate, engraved tunnels are cool to look at but are a sign that something must be done in order to preserve & protect large stands of conifers all over the world.  This handkerchief is a homage to the trees affected by these insects.
