INTRODUCTION:
We've had fun putting these caches out and everybody seems to be having fun finding them (unless of course, certain insects are out to "get you"). So, we are putting out more (caches, not insects). The theme this time is INSECTS (as you've already figured out by the title). Some of these you may encounter on your geocaching trips and some of them you may wish you had not. Instead of a steady line of caches down the trail, we thought we'd try something new for us. All are easy puzzle caches and the geoart is one of our favorite insects: the dragonfly - as it eats what annoys us all the most: mosquitoes.
TRANSPORTATION:
The K&P trail is a single lane dirt road with gravel on it in some areas. You can hike it, bike it or drive it albeit very slowly. When placing the caches we never drove over 15 km/hr. Mostly it was at about 10 km/hr. Just when you think it's smooth going a huge puddle hole will "get" you. On bikes, you will have no trouble except if you go out after heavy rain (or during rainfall) as it will be muddy in areas. On foot, be aware that there are very few houses along the way - so don't go alone. Safety in numbers. There are some pretty streams along the way, wetlands and Graham Lake just North of Lavant Station (a nice place for a picnic lunch).
INSECT: BLACK LEGGED TICK
Blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis) exist in three active stages: larva, nymph and adult. The life cycle of blacklegged ticks takes at least three years to complete and each active stage usually survives for up to one year. Blood is required by the tick to move to the next stage. Unfed larvae and nymphs are light in colour and very difficult to see.
Unfed adult female blacklegged ticks are approximately 3 to 5 mm in length; and are red and brown in colour; while adult males are smaller than females and are uniformly brown in colour. Adult blacklegged ticks are smaller than the more common American dog tick (often called wood tick). American dog ticks have white markings on their backs while blacklegged ticks do not (Figure 2). American dog ticks usually do not transmit the Lyme disease bacteria.
I hate ticks and there is so much about them and how to take precautions on the web, that I suggest you do your own research!!
