Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinates.  This Wherigo cache is part of the Florida Finders Fest 2018 Butterfly geo-art.  See below, to determine where the cache is.

Monarch Butterflies are a common sight throughout North America, with the exception of the extreme northern regions. Their orange and black coloring, mixed with a little white, make them instantly recognizable. The related Viceroy Butterfly appears very similar to the Monarch Butterfly, but has slight differences in both pattern and color. A discerning eye should be able to tell the two apart.

Monarch Butterflies are migratory. This means they live in the northern region of the continent during the summer and then fly south to warmer regions to live during the winter months. A single Monarch can cover thousands of miles of flight in one season. Millions of this large butterfly fly together to the southern U.S. states and Mexico to avoid the bitter cold winters of Canada and the northern U.S.. What is most amazing is that life span of a Monarch Butterfly is so short that it could not live long enough to personally return to the region is started in. Somehow, the newly born and young Monarchs just know where to go for the other half of the year.

Note: The rather curious hints found in this series refer to the Wherigo questions, not the actual hides.
