About This Item

EntSoc Bug Five -ready to travel

Following my tradition, began in 2002, I'm releasing Travel Bugs near the site of the annual meeting of the Entomological Society of America, hoping they can travel to the next place the buggy people will be assembling, while seeing a lot of caches and meeting a lot of cachers along the way. EntSoc Bug Five is a real bug, a member of the order Hemiptera. He is snugly encased in a plastic key ring fob. Note the resemblance of the pattern on his back to a human face or mask. He joins my other surviving EntSoc Bugs all journeying toward the next ESA meeting. Please take care of him and log him properly. And do post photos of his adventures. Good luck little Bug, I hope to see you in Indiana or California or Nevada.

Update: December 2008. The bug got to Idaho Springs Idaho in November 2008 which is the closest it has come to an ESA meeting yet - about 490 miles. Keep moving.

This was my daughter's first 'treasure hunt' and she was so excited to find this little buggy! I guess I don't have a typical girlie girl do I?

Anyways after the geocaching exhibit at the Adventure Science Center, this was our very first cache! We are happy to move this litte buggy just as close to reno as we can get it, we will be bringing the little guy (or gal) to Atlanta next week and putting it in the closest cache we can find to I-20, from there, it's a pretty strait shot to RENO... Good luck little beetle! We will log again when we let 'm loose.
