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 pretty, unassuming Faint-Spotted Angle Moth can be seen around Locust trees all across the eastern parts of the continent.

The gentle wave of color on the wings of the the Faint-Spotted Angle Moth helps identify this small, yet ubiquitous insect. Spots of black follow the wave and the mixture of color and pattern likely aid in camouflaging the moth. Adults are active from April through October.

Caterpillars are also known as Locust Loopers. They have green bodies marked with thin, wavy red lines on them. They are a type of inchworm, moving forward about an inch at a time by bring their rear up to their head. This creates a 'loop' with their body before the front half of the caterpillar stretches forward again. They feed on the leaves of black and honey locust trees. This species can produce two broods per year. They do not seem to create any serious threat to trees.
