Inspired by Nature – Time Flies Traditional Cache

Welcome to another of my Inspired by Nature series that will be in the Port Townsend area. As with all things in nature, these caches can be quite delicate so please take caution when handling them and replacing them-they will be grateful.  This might be a fun series for families.

You are looking for a Nano container attached to a rather oversized fly. The hiding spot is located off a dead end street.

About Me:

The housefly (also house fly, house-fly or common housefly), Musca domestica, is a fly of the suborder Cyclorrhapha. It is the most common of all domestic flies, accounting for about 91% of all flies in human habitations, and indeed one of the most widely distributed insects, found all over the world. It is considered a pest that can carry serious diseases.

Each female fly can lay approximately 500 eggs in several batches of about 75 to 150. Within a day, larvae (maggots) hatch from the eggs; they live and feed on organic material, such as garbage. The adult flies emerge from the pupae stage anywhere from 2 to 27 days depending on the temperature conditions. (This whole cycle is known as complete metamorphosis.) The adults live from two weeks to a month in the wild. Having emerged from the pupae, the flies cease to grow; small flies are not necessarily young flies, but are instead the result of getting insufficient food during the larval stage.
