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 Holly Borer Moth strikes a keen resemblance to a wasp, but the hairy moth is more dangerous to plants than people.

The transparent wings of the Holly Borer Moth, coupled with the bold black and yellow body patterns, make it look like a stinging wasp. This mimicry helps them avoid predators like birds and small animals. They have hairy bodies and legs. The wings are narrow and clear, with some veins that add to an observer's confusion.

The larvae of this species bore into holly trees, damaging the plant. Once they pupate and become adults, they can be found on a variety of flowers in parks, gardens and meadows during the summer months.
