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 only moth in its genus, the Curve-Toothed Geometer Moth has many distinctive markings that should help in identifying it properly. When at rest with wings flat, a definitive line that crosses from left to right, stopping short of reaching the edges of the wings. This line separates dark brown coloring near the head from the lighter brown color at the edge of the wings. The outer edge of the forewings curves downward and ends in a nubby point, or tooth, at the tips of the wings. The hindwings have scalloped edges.

Young caterpillars have a brown body that becomes darker and more purple as it ages. They eat the leaves of common trees like ash, oak and maple. This accessible food source makes it easy to spread its range. Two generations are produced each year in warmer climates. Adults are active from late spring to late summer in wooded areas across the continent.
