This Travel Bug particularly likes geocaches in sunny locations.
About the UV Sensor
Comprising a metal sensor plate and a yellow filter overlay, the UV
sensor changes colour in just a few seconds when exposed to the sun’s
UVA rays.
This Travel Bug is so named to remind of the problem of holes in the
ozone layer caused by CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) emissions. Areas of the world
under such holes endure extremely high UVA levels.
Please do your part to personally minimise your energy use and CO2
emissions:
- Support global initiatives to address industrial emissions.
- Walk and/or use public transport wherever possible, in preference to
using your own car.
- Change to energy efficient light bulbs.
- Ensure your home is well insulated to minimise heat loss.
- Turn off lights and appliances (turning off is preferable to leaving
on standby) after use.
- Consider timer switches for things such as heaters.
- If possible, consider alternatively powered vehicle(s) (e.g. LPG)
and/or home solar/wind power generation.
- Learn more about your Carbon Footprint:

Using the UV Sensor
Remove the yellow filter to expose the picture on the fob to sunlight
for 15 seconds.
Compare the colour change to the simple scale below to inform your
decision on what level of protection you need.

Recommended Sun Protection Measures |
Low |

sure you seek shade. Must wear a shirt, sunglasses and a hat. |
For the Log
Please log your location and the UV level at the time of your find.
Problems?
Travel Bugs need maintenance from time to time (as do we all?!). If this one looks in need (or if you would like to know how to make your own
capsule), please take a look at the Faber Optimé Travel Bug Maintenance Manual.

Just a little update, little bug is sitting with me through my exams at Massey University! Seems to be bringing me lots of good luck so far!
Will be moving it on very soon after the 5th November. If the owner/creator of the bug wanted to catch up and investigate the state of the UV indicator I'm more than happy to meet up. :)

Found this little guy in it's original home in the Peninsula Park cache, honored to be the first in it's next big adventure!
UV sensor seems to be working when tested with a UV LED, picked up and found UV to be moderate. Nifty little tool! Quickly headed off for an ice cream before we got sunburnt!
Will find this guy a fun little home somewhere in the near future. :)
