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.

Long, furry antennae and a penchant for yoga are hallmarks of the Changeable Grass-Veneer Moth.

The Changeable Grass-Veneer likes to rest in a position that resembles a downward-facing dog. Front legs are fully flattened on the surface and the wings of the moth rise up like a dog during a morning stretch. The brown wings have short zigzag lines on the posterior and the palps are furry extensions in front of the face, giving the appearance of a long nose or snout.

Grass is a common place to find this type of moth because the worm-like larvae feed on the blades. They are considered lawn moths.They range from backyards and golf courses to plains and woodlands. Extensive feeding or large numbers of larvae damage turf, making them a pest to stadia, golf course and groundskeepers trying to keep a clean, uniform lawn. Such a nuisance are they that they have their own common name in their young life stage: Striped Sod Webworms.
