This is no ordinary geocaching trading item!
Jasper the Scorpion is a Steampunk Scorpion Geocoin Travel Bug, traveling from geocache to geocache on a very specific mission.
If you do not intend to log your visit on the Geocaching.com web site, please DO NOT TAKE THIS ITEM. Its travels and its progress requires you to log that it is being taken from this geocache. You will also need to log when you place it in another geocache. It's easy!
If you are willing to log your part of this Trackable's journey and place it in another geocache as soon as possible (after you log your find), grab it from this geocache.
My Current Goal:
Take me to the desert! Any desert will do. Semi-desert will even suffice.

Scorpions moult, they shed their exoskeleton up to 7 times as they grow to full size. They become vulnerable to predators each time until their new protective exoskeleton hardens.

Under UV light such as a black light scorpions are known to glow due to the presence of fluorescent chemicals in their exoskeleton.
