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.

Though the Red-spotted Purple Admiral lacks the tails of the Pipevine Swallowtail, it resembles it enough in size and coloring to possibly benefit from mimicry. The Pipevine deters predators from eating it by tasting awful. Though some Pipevines are killed in teaching animals this lesson, many others are spared once animals learn to avoid them. The Red-spotted Purple Admiral may see predator avoidance because they look so much like the distasteful Pipevine. Research shows that they sometimes breed with Viceroy butterflies.

Look for Red-spotted Purple Admiral butterflies from spring through autumn. Adult butterflies drink nectar from flowers, water from puddles, tree sap and juices from rotting fruits.
