On the cover of this week's Independent is an illustration of the upcoming "BioBlitz" at the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden. The illustration by Kelly Kennedy includes a number of creatures, some hidden but most not-so-hidden. The Botanic Garden is offering prizes to those who can find all of the creatures. First place will get a one-year family membership to the Garden and a BioBlitz t-shirt. Second place will get a six-pack of passes and a BioBlitz coffee mug. Third place will get a four-pack and a mug. (If there's a tie, winners will be selected at random.) And then The Indy will throw in some t-shirts and coffee mugs to others who can locate all of the big and little beasts. Can you find them all?
