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 Argiope trifasciata, commonly known as Banded Garden Spider, belongs to the genus Argiope, in the family Araneidae. This spider is similar in size, shape, color, and pattern to the Palearctic species Argiope bruennichi, which is not yet known to occur in North America (though we’re aware of at least one possible sighting in the state of Alaska, which was never confirmed).

This Planet Technically Isn’t Even A Year Old

This planet, to use the term loosely, was discovered on February 18th, 1930. It is the farthest (dwarf) planet from the Sun, requiring it to go a much farther distance than we are used to on Earth. It takes a whopping 248 Earth-years to complete one rotation of its own around the sun—its own year. This places its first birthday since its discovery on Monday, March 23, 2178. You might want to call and say you might not make the party.
