NIIHAU a shoal of time
Arin and I have been fascinated by the island of Niihau - or the "Forbidden Island." The island is privately owned, hence the reason for it being forbidden. Well, that and the fact the owners are devoted to keeping the island to "preserve intact the Hawaiian cultural pattern."
Hawaiian Spider that I am seeing *everywhere*
Our garden is full of these spiders right now. I have scoured wikipedia, google, and every resource I can think of. But for the life of me, I cannot find the name of the spider or any other info except this photo. Help!
