About This Item

Button Bug Swarm

The original TB was released in 2003 and traveled around collecting buttons until it went missing in Colorado in 2005 after traveling 5,627 miles. I'm re-starting it in 2020 using the "copy" tag and with some new buttons. Please add another button of your own, and then place the TB in a geocache so it can travel as much as possible.

Please take a picture of the current swarm to post with your log, if you can. The owner is curious about its changing appearance. It's worth having a look at the gallery for this trackable so you can see what buttons people have added to it, in version 1.0 and 2.0

NOTICE: Do NOT log this item unless you have actually seen and handled it in person. If you are not personally moving it around, do not log it. Logging this travel bug when you have only “discovered” it online is not allowed. Such logs will be deleted by the owner.

Added a olive green button from my army uniform to the chain. Glad to keep this travel bug moving on its journey!

We have archived the Los Barriles cache because of Covid restrictions in it's location, so we have retrieved the Skull Island TB and will take it north with us to the USA at the end of April. Sorry that it will be so long, but we don't know when there will be a chance to put Los Barriles Oasis back in service.
