This is a themed series of jigsaws set around the village of Kegworth. While the route is more or less circular, there are a few deviations to fit in extra caches to create the geoart picture. Please use the proper crossing points where necessary. Spoiler photos may be deleted.
During lockdown I found myself looking at the insect life on my daily walks a lot closer, and the majority of the jigsaws have come from this. They do not provide clues to the cache location. I have also found that carrying a camera and occasionally pointing it at a flower is a great cover for caching.
Note: I am not an entomologist and the species identification is my best guess. If I have any wrong, please let me know.
There is ample parking in the village (though if you are right in the centre please observe the parking restrictions – the local traffic wardens have a fearsome reputation). Many of the caches in the village itself can be done as park and grabs, but those out of the village do require a walk. Some of the roads around Kegworth are rather new so may not appear on outdated maps!
1. Banded Demoiselle (Calopteryx splendens)
This damselfly is found in waterside vegetation and like cleans streams with muddy bottoms. This is a male – the female is metallic green with translucent pale green wings.
