Clicking on it reveals that it's available in high resolution and under public domain. ♥️
And so I have my image without paying a dime to a stock image side, and instead, can use the money to donate to the Biodiversity Heritage Library!

With the name of the book on hand, I could go back to my datasource (Flickr and WikiCommons offers an easy way to search for it).
And Voilà - I immediately find the book! 📚

Sometimes I can go directly to the stock image side, but in this case it wouldn't have revealed the image that I was looking for! 🔍

Going to the stock image side does reveal a price for the license of 22€ 👀
But also the name of the artist, the book and the date, making it clear that this image is actually public domain!

I wanted to make a puzzle for the terebinth, but my dataset didn't have anything labeled for that plant.
But turning to google, I found this image which I quite liked. 👀

Making a new puzzle for Art of Fauna / Art of Flora often involves a wild hunt through the internet to find the correct picture.
A thread showing you how this works on the example of the Terebinth 🌱

What does this mean for Art of Faunas future? 🔮
Only good things! Both apps will continue to get puzzles and enhancements. And I want to do some fun cross-overs, like with those images from Maria Sibylla Merian, that feature both beautiful plants and insects. 🦋

The App Icon! ♥️
As some of you correctly found out, it's a "Bird of Paradise", or "Strelitzia". I tried 40 icons (more on that in another post), but this one fits *perfectly*.
It looks great, it’s one of my favourite plants, and it ties in perfectly with the Art of Fauna icon!
