Geocache Description:

A lepidoptery recognition puzzle.


There is no cache at the published co-ordinates. There is an old posting house pub. If you visit, note the stage coach stairs at the side of the gable end on the main road. They were to help passengers on and off the old horse drawn carriages. This won't help with the puzzle, but we found them interesting.

This is a photo puzzle. Simply identify the moths photos and you are almost there.

The photos were all taken within five miles of the cache location and are of common moths found in the area.

The key to searching for the IDs is these moths are common and therefore in most of the abbreviated moth guides.

 

The final cache is located atN54 35.ABC W003 25.DEF
Moth A
Moth B
Moth C
Moth D
Moth E
Moth F

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
