This is a 2 stage multi cache, and is dedicated to those insects we forget about, but still hate.Cankerworms. Wriggles the Worm holds the location of the second stage. He is in a clear screw top container. Remember to leave him in the container and screw it closed!
Cankerworms are caterpillars that feed primarily on the leaves of American elms, Manitoba maple and Green ash in May and June. We often call cankerworms loopers, inchworms or measuring worms. Cankerworms spin down from trees on silken webs.
Winnipeg has two types of cankerworms, the fall cankerworm (Alsophila pometaria Harris) and the spring cankerworm (Paleacrita vernata Peck). Both look similar and cause damage in the spring when the leaves come out.
Both the spring and fall cankerworm are about 2.5 cm long when fully grown. They range in color from light green to brownish green with a dark stripe down the back.
Caches are screw topped Ziplock containers. I would suggest using the path-like-tracks instead of the really high grassy side.
Parking my be a challenge. I have added a waypoint to the church across Lakewood, which will probably be the best place to park, please do not park on the busy road to the south. Depending on parking, you may have a nice hike.
