i found myself in a tropical rainforest
(xishuangbanna)

at the very southern tip of southwest china.
the extreme humidity, constant rain, and isolation
makes yunnan the most eco-diverse region in china:
a refuge for monkeys & elephants,
a prosimian paradise,
and a wonderland for insects!

cousin bill and i had a fun time
scanning the forest floor for
anything bright, colorful, or textured.
