Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinates.  This puzzle cache is part of the Florida Finders Fest 2018 Butterfly geo-art.  See below, to determine where the cache is.

The Five-Spotted Hawk Moth is a large, strong flier that has a reputation for laying waste fields and gardens trying to grow popular vegetables.

When wings are flat and the abdomen is revealed, two vivid blue eyespots are visible on the thorax of the Five-Spotted Hawk Moth. The five yellow-orange spots that dot the abdomen on each side (10 spots total) are large enough to count easily. Sometimes, however, a sixth spot is present which can confuse those trying to identify them. This large moth is a strong flier and drinks nectar from flowers like petunias, honeysuckle and phlox. The adults fly at sundown and are seemingly harmless. Their larva are another story.
