    • Description:
      Biho Takashi (active ca. 1890‒1930). Bat in Moon, ca. 1905. Color woodblock print on paper, 9 1/4 in x 9 9/16 in/23.5 cm x 24.3 cm. Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn, New York, USA. Gift of the Estate of Dr. Eleanor Z. Wallace, 2007.32.4

      The only mammals that can fly, bats play a vital role in maintaining healthy ecosystems. They devour large amounts of insect pests; pollinate hundreds of species of fruit, including avocados, bananas, and mangoes; and spread seeds of a number of plants, including cacao, figs, and nuts. This month’s cover image, Bat in Moon by Biho Takashi, portrays a soaring bat silhouetted across a full moon. A fitting caption can be taken from Ariel’s words in Act V, Scene I, of The Tempest by William Shakespeare: “On the bat’s back I do fly after summer merrily.”
