About This Item

I.C.E. Swallowtail, ready to travel

Every four years entomologists from all over the world gather for an International Congress to present research reports and celebrate the wonderful world of insects. This seems an appropriate venue for Travel Bugs to start their adventures.

At the 2004 I.C.E. I released two bugs, ICE Mantid TBE35F, and ICE Beetle TBF4A5. They both traveled extensively for three years. They got stalledin 2007 but ICE Mantid eventually was rescued from a lost archived cache. A forest fire caught up with ICE Beetle and only his tag survived. The Mantid and the Beetle's tag are now home in Nebraska and have earned retirement. I.C.E. Swallowtail and his friend I.C.E. Ladybug are eager to take up the challenge and try to top their predecessors mileage before the 2012 Congress.

I.C.E. Swallowtail is an adventurous Butterfly ready to fly most anywhere. Please take care of him and keep him moving. Good luck, little butterfly. I hope to see you at an ESA meeting in the USA sometime.

Discover logs continue but I've had a report that it's not in the last cache listed so I've marked it missing. Découvrez les journaux continuer mais je avons eu un rapport qu'il est pas dans le dernier cache énuméré donc je l'ai marqué manquant.

The owner has set this Trackable as missing. It had a good run. Five years, 34405 miles. Four continents. Placed in 48 caches (not counting visits) in 14 countries. First of my travelers to reach Indonesia, Belgium, Norway, Italy, Netherlands, Luxemberg, Croatia, Solvenia and France. Maybe it's still fluttering around somewhere. Thanks everyone who moved it along. This entry was edited by NevaP on Sunday, 05 July 2015 at 22:29:23 UTC.
