I think this is a Damselfly (but which species?)
as portrayed in tiles on the stairway up to the ground level of the NYC subway stop (A-B-C)
at 81st and Central Park West. (ISO, no zoom, no flash).

Ha! You've been spoofed!
It's actually a parrot. Strigops Novoeboracum subterranicus. And it's not art. It's a fossil, from the days when the Strigopini ruled the caves.
Musta been really moving when it hit that wall...
Andre, I didn't know fossils turn into mosaics if exposed to NYC air. Wow. I wonder what dinosaur fossils would look like if we plastered them all over NYC...
