Geocache Description:


This cache is placed at Highlands Hammock State Park along the Wilderness Trail road leading back to the wilderness campground.  The park is open from 8 am until sunset, 365 days a year.  A state park entrance fee is required.

Long black wings with distinctive thin yellow bands - combined with slow, graceful flight - characterize the zebra longwing (Heliconius charitonius). It has a wide range of habitats, including hardwood hammocks, thickets, and gardens. The zebra longwing is found throughout the state, although it is more common in south Florida, particularly in the Everglades National Park. In 1996 the state legislature designated the zebra longwing as the official state butterfly.
