WEDNESDAY, OCT. 12 BIG BUGS EXHIBIT at the Cape Fear Botanical Garden. This swarm is friendly and larger than life. They are called Big Bugs and feature a 1,200 pound praying mantis, 25-foot long ant and eight other enormous natural sculptures. The gigantic bug sculptures, created by artist David Rogers of Glenwood Land- ing, N.Y. are made using various combinations of whole trees found standing or fallen dead, dry branches and other forest materi- als. The different shapes, colors and textures of these materials provide the bugs with character, defi nition and a sense of motion. The weight of the sculptures var- ies from 30 to 1,200 pounds, and
some of the bugs stand nearly 10- feet high and stretch 25-feet long. The sculptures will be displayed throughout the garden for visitors to get a "bug's-eye-view" of the creatures. For information, call 867-0221 Ext 27.
