Geocache Description:


Welcome to the Florida Finders Fest 2019 Spidey Geo-Art, brought to you by the Forest Minions! This letterbox Hybrid cache is not at the posted coordinates. You must solve this rather challenging trivia question, to determine the location of the final. As this is a Letterbox Hybrid, we ask that you leave the stamp, in the cache. It is not a trade item. Happy hunting!

The spider species Verrucosa arenata, commonly known as Arrowhead Orb-weaver, belongs to the genus Verrucosa, in the family Araneidae. It is widely distributed in the New World. Other species of the genus Verrucosa occur in North and South America. The genus name Verrucosa derives from Latin, meaning "warty". The specific epithet arenata derives from Latin "arena", meaning "sand".

Some Planets Produce Strange Rain

Saturn and Jupiter are gas giant planets that produce a truly unique form of weather. Recently, scientists discovered that there is plenty of carbon in these atmosphere. When carbon soot gets hit by lightning, it hardens into graphite and falls downward, where the pressure of the atmosphere hardens it further, until it becomes this stuff! Storms on these planets may literally rain these guys as big as a centimeter across.

What kind of rain are they talking about?
