Broken-backed Bug (Taylorilygus apicalis)
Insects and bugs do not adhere to man-drawn borders on a map and as such they may be found beyond their listed ‘reach’. Insects and bugs are typically drawn to a given area by available food supply, weather, environmental factors, water supply, reproductive patterns, etc. and can be territorial. They can also be transported unknowingly in many different ways. Therefore consider this insect, bug or spider identified is part of the 1001 different types that have been found in Florida.
You are traveling on a numbered Forest Road (FR09). We used a High Clearance 4X4 to place these containers. Be advised, we went through soft sand, sugar sand and muddy areas while placing these. In other words, you could get stuck and cell service is not the best at any given time. Come prepared. This is the Forest and you should be on the watch out for a long list of things, which are Bears and Hunters, to name a couple. We did see many Bear tracks while placing these caches and luckily no snakes, only a few ticks.
All of the containers are the same down this road, just hid a bit different. They are all on the West side of the FR. The GPS bounce in this area while placing these was very bad today. Have fun, do not get stuck, be safe and stay healthy.
