Answers to last week's Find It Friday 🐦‍⬛🔎🧐

🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛There are 3 birds in the photo. 

❔Did you know ?  It is illegal to feed pigeons in Venice and can result in a large fine.  The law is to help protect the city from damage that the pigeons cause to buildings and statues.  Tourists feeding the pigeons led to an overpopulation of pigeons in the city. 

🗿📚The statue is of Niccolò Tommaseo who was an Italian writer and linguist.  The statue is located at Campo Santo Stefano in Venice.

Here is the unexpected answer to last week's Find Here is the unexpected answer to last week's Find It Friday....

Can you find the spider in this photo? 🔎🕷️

There is not a spider in the photo.

Spiders and Harvestmen are both arachnids but Harvestmen are not spiders.  Here are some key differences between the two.  @iowadnr are there any other key differences you would add? 

🕷️Spiders

*2 body segments

* 6-8 eyes

*produces silk for webs

*produces venom to digest prey

*eats small insects

*Uses web to trap prey

🚫Harvestmen 

*one oval shaped body

*2 eyes

*no silk or webs

*no venom

*eats dead matter, plants, and small prey

*can release odor or drop a leg to escape predators 

Watch the full reel to see if you can tell the difference between Harvestmen and Spiders.  Share with friends to see if they can tell the difference too.

Answer to last week's Find It Friday 🟥🔎🧐

📍Cedar Rock State Park, Independence, Iowa 🇺🇸

The answer to last week's Find It Friday is Frank Lloyd Wright, who is known as one of the greatest architects of all time.  The red tile in the photo has his signature.  He is famous for the term organic architecture as he strived to create structures that were in harmony with nature.  The  home of Agnes and Lowell Walter at Cedar Rock State Park is one of Frank Lloyd Wright's most complete designs down to the interior placement of items allowed in the home.  The house was donated by the Walters to the state of Iowa in 1981 and has since become a state park led by Iowa DNR tours.  It is recommended to email or call for tours and the park is open from Mid-May to early October.

I visited the @blankparkzoo in Des Moines, Iowa today.  This zoo features over 100 animal species including tigers, lions, penguins, wallabies, giraffes, and more. 

🦖🦕Currently, the zoo has transformed itself into Dino Park Zoo and is featuring 17 different life-sized dinosaur animatronics throughout the zoo.  This is included with admission and will be at the zoo through the end of October.

Can you find the giant baseball glove in this photo? ⚾🥊🧐🔍

I took this photo last night at the Iowa Cubs game during the 7th inning.  The Iowa Cubs are a minor league affiliate of the Chicago Cubs and many players on the team end up playing on the Chicago Cubs team.  Unfortunately, last night they were not able to pull off the win and lost 13 to 10.
