LanternAsia, Part One 2
The LanternAsia exhibit is currently at the Norfolk Botanical Gardens. The exhibit consists of images from Chinese culture and mythology constructed of painted silk stretched over wire and metal frames. At night, the images are alight from bulbs placed inside them (we are waiting for warmer weather before seeing them at night).
This is the first of what will likely be three posts of pictures from our stroll through the gardens.

Spidey Powers 0
We haven’t been able to identify this. In behavior, it seemed most like a Bolas Spider, but it didn’t quite match the picture.
It was letting out a single long strand of web. Once the web caught on an object, the spider secured her end of it and scurried suspended upside down along the web to its destination (which just happened to be the chair I had been sitting in when I noticed a strand of web floating by my face).
