Geocache Description:


The Cache Is Not At The Posted Coordinates!


I doubt I'm not alone, when it comes to feeling of being itchy after a day of caching. I have fed my fair share, and then some, of the mosquitoes while out in the woods. I also, got my first case of Poison Ivy last year. All in all, they will not stop me from finding caches. Just a hazard of the sport!
That being said, solve the puzzle to find the cache!.

Mosqitoes:

A) In Spanish, what does "Mosquito" mean?

B) Which sex requires a blood meal (AKA Us)?

C) How many stages are in a Mosquitoes life cycle?

D) It is said a Mosquito can sense what type of acid?



Poison Ivy:

W) Poison Ivy belongs to what genus?

X) Finish These Sayings: "Leaves of _____, Let it be" and "_____ vine, No friend of mine"

Y) Within an hour of contact, you should rinse in what temperature of water?

Z) What is the name of the oil that causes the allergic reaction?

 

Solution - Add up the number of letters in your answers and do the following to solve for the final coordinates:

A = numbers in your answer
B - 5
C - 4
D + 1

W - 13
X - 1
Y + 2
Z - 5

N 43 0A.BCD
W 077 3W.XYZ


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.

Tip: I wore muck boots to place this! BYOP!
