I painted this mural for the spider monkey exhibit in the Primate House a while ago and forgot to post pictures, so I am doing that now.
I included a lot of detail in this mural. The fungus near the upper right corner of the picture above is supposed to be a cordyceps fungus growing out of a beetle. If you haven't heard of cordyceps, it is a very strange variety of mushroom that infects insects. It's pretty cool. Follow this link if you want to hear David Attenborough talk about it:

I have hidden two other things in this mural, but I am not posting pictures of them so if you want to know what they are you will have to waltz over to the primate house and find them for yourself!
