About This Item

LeafBiter likes green things, especially big leaves. Send pictures of him among bushy plants and large leaves!

This is our first bug... how fitting that he start his journey among so many other "newbie" bugs. Once he gets moving, we'll see how far he can go, and make the goal more specific to a prize category.

What a cool bug! We'll take it to the UP where it can compete with the ticks and other crawlies.

A miraculous rescue by Kook and the Pope. I personally searched for that adbandoned cache years ago in hope of rescueing this bug.

I'll probably take this bug to "The Rock Island Getaway IV" event cache later this month.

At last! After 5 years of solitude, somebody found LeafBiter and started moving him again. Thanks so much!

Looks like this TB's been with "The Mob"...his legs are broke!
I actually stumbled onto this one - no GPS, nothing, so can't even tell you the cache's coordinates, although judging by the map picture, it looks to be in the same general area! (Look for a very large hickory tree among other trees and bushes.) Was there for other reasons than caching, found this by accident. This cache was noticeably there undisturbed for quite some time, but clean and dry inside. Didn't have anything to leave but did take the TB and will get it back on the trail soon. WOW, such mystery in this geocaching!
