Nature Done Wright

The past couple of weeks I've featured Monday Mysteries from a trip to New Orleans and Cajun Country.

I photographed the above arachnid mystery at a nature preserve in Lafayette, Louisiana.

Deedee Burnside correctly identified it as a Banana Spider. More about Banana Spiders here.

Joe Lafferty, meanwhile, correctly ID'd it as a Golden Silk Orb Weaver.  More on Golden Silk Orb Weavers here.

Joe's photo of a similar spider is below. (Great shot, Joe!)

Congrats to both Deedee and Joe!

Tomorrow: One ugly  (mystery) duck.
