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.

White-Lined Sphinx Moths are big, brown and abundant across the continent. They can resemble streamlined jets with their solid wings and sleek lines.

Sphinx moths are larger than most moths and the White-Lined Sphinx Moth is no exception. Their forewings are mostly brown, but each has a thick white line that extends from the base (by the head) to the tip of the wing. Thin white lines cross this thicker one in spaced intervals from the left to the right side of each forewing. The tops of the hindwings each have a flash of bright pink that is only visible when the moth completely spreads its forewings ('top' wings) open.

The White-Lined Sphinx Moth hovers over flowers, much like a bird, and can be found in a variety of habitats. It is very hairy so it could be mistaken as a small bird if not closely observed. See a White-Lined Sphinx Moth in flight while it visits flowers here:
