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.

The Snowberry Clearwing Moth is a large, furry Sphinx moth that greatly resembles a bee and a hummingbird.

Though this species looks and flies like a bee, it does not land on flowers as bees do. And though it has hair on it that may allow it to be mistaken for the feathers of a hummingbird, it has clear wings that are bordered with black. Instead of a bird beak, it has a curly proboscis for drinking nectar.

The Snowberry Clearwing is a large moth from the the Sphinx family. Members of this family are known to be strong fliers and many other species in it also resemble birds and bees.

Caterpillars are bright green and feed on the leaves of plants. It has a horn at one end that looks potentially harmful, but the caterpillar is actually quite harmless. Up to two generations can be produced a year.
