Geocache Description:


This is the first cache in my new 'Chorus Cabinet Art' series. This series is placed to highlight the local artistic talent that Chorus has commissioned to brighten up their otherwise boring public utility boxes.

The monarch butterfly or simply monarch (Danaus plexippus) is a milkweed butterfly (subfamily Danainae) in the family Nymphalidae. Other common names depending on region include milkweed, common tiger, wanderer, and black veined brown. It may be the most familiar North American butterfly, and is considered an iconic pollinator species. Its wings feature an easily recognizable black, orange, and white pattern, with a wingspan of 8.9–10.2 cm (​3 1⁄2–4 in). The viceroy butterfly is similar in color and pattern, but is markedly smaller and has an extra black stripe across each hindwing.

Chorus commissioned talented Marlborough 15yo Lilah Bowers to paint this cabinet which was completed under the guidance of Gynelle Blake who has already painted several Chorus cabinets around Blenheim.

This cache like the colourful Monarch draws your attention to a Chorus telecommunications box, however the cache itself is not on this box, but nearby.

The cache is of a format that will not accept SWAG or trackables. B.Y.O.P.
