Hehe.. enjoyed reading about this bug and it's bypass of England (he was in France??), resultant move to California (!!) and it's minor setback to Georgia. I'll place him west, though mileage will be double-digit, not quad.

Found this TB while on vacation. He was a long way from an international airport, so we decided to bring him to the Atlanta area with the thought he could go east to Europe, since Atlanta is a big jumping off place for international air travel, especially to Europe, but also to other continents. Then when we got home and again had access to the internet, to our consternation, we found Blotts originated in Europe. We will place him in a geocache at Arabia Mountain Nature Preserve, which is in the Atlanta metropolitan area. Hopefully, someone will continue helping him with his travels around the world. At least we kept him moving around. My wife has a dear almost lifelong friend who lives in England.
