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.

Red Admirals are hard to miss and easy to identify thanks to their size and distinctive color and patterns. It can be found yearlong in warmer states and in Mexico, but only in the summer months in the north. These migrants can produce one or two broods during their time up north. The cold winters kill off any that remain. Adults in warm regions hibernate through the winter. Large populations migrate north again the next year, especially in the eastern half of the continent, enabling the species to return every year. In desert regions, the butterflies start to move up the mesas and mountains at the beginning of Spring's warm-up. 

Adults can be found in virtually any habitat, ranging from rural to urban, subtropcis to tundra. They prefer to drink sap from trees, liquid from rotting fruit and bird droppings. They will drink nectar from milkweed, clover, aster and alfalfa flowers if their preferred foods are not available.

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