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.

Painted Ladies are a myriad of colors and patterns. With wings flat, an overall rosy-orange and black color combination predominates. Small black eyespots border the hindwings' edges. White spots contrast on the black wing tips. Dark pink or red surrounds a black dot near the upper edge of the forewings. With wings together, a brown and white scheme takes over with sneaks of orange and pink. The edge of each hindwing has four similar-sized eyespots of blue ringed in yellow. Adults drink flower nectar and are often seen on asters. Males actively search for females to mate with. Females lay fertilized eggs on the leaves of host plants. 

Millions of Painted Ladies migrate each summer from the warm southern region of the continent to the cooler northern provinces. Sometimes, they move en masse, to an observer's delight. Many generations can be produced each year, with more in of them in warmer climates. In areas of mild winters, this species can remain active all year. This popular native butterfly is welcomed and admired in all three nations of North America.

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