Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinates.  This letterbox hybrid is part of the Florida Finders Fest 2018 Butterfly geo-art.  Please leave the stamp in the cache.  It is not a trade item.  See below, to determine where the cache is.

This large, pale green Giant Silkmoth can be found in hardwood forests. Luna Moths are unique to North America. Their bright green wings extend into long, thin tails. A downy coating covers the forewings and hindwings. Four distinctive eyespots adorn their wings and their antennae are very feathery. This particular species has become quite recognizable thanks to its adoption as a spokesmodel by a popular sleeping medication.

Populations are being bred in captivity and are often used in classrooms to teach about butterfly life cycles and their role in the environment.

As a member of the Silkmoth family, the larvae (caterpillar) of the Luna moth spins a silky cocoon. Larvae eat the leaves on birch, sweetgum, hickory and walnut trees. Caterpillars are chubby and pale green with a few bristles atop each segment.
