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.
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 Some of the roads around Kegworth are rather new so may not appear on outdated maps!
Black garden ant (Lasius niger)
A familiar sight in the garden and, given a chance, the home. Often builds nests under paving stones and containers (as in this case). Eats a varied diet but particularly likes the honeydew from aphids, and will defend infested plants against aphid predators.
