I would hope that this bug would inspire the owner to replace a cache that was lost in the William Heise County Park with this bug as part of the original swag. If that is not possible, just keep her moving!

About This Item

Butterfly7.jpg

Metamorphosis is the series of developmental stages insects go through to become adults. Butterflies have four stages of life: egg, larva (the caterpillar stage), pupa (the chrysalis phase), and adult. It takes a butterfly just 30 to 40 days to complete its life cycle, with warmer temperatures generally being responsible for faster development. Just like the butterfly, many of our favorite geocaching spots in San Diego are going through metamorphosis as a result of the devastating destruction of the Cedar, Otay and Paradise fires that raged through our region in October of 2003. This travel bug is one in a series of similar butterfly bugs made to illustrate the quick transformation of these trails from scorched earth to lush green paradise. A photo of the “Metamorphosis Family” has been posted to this site. See how many you can collect. (catch and release only, please!)

Grab It (Not from a Cache) 7/1/2007 flatfisher grabbed it   Visit Log

I grabbed this butterfly from a cache near Schiphol International Airport: Tussen Polder- & Zwanenburgbaan (GCXBGW).
That is not the cache where its supposed to be, so the butterfly travelled a bit, propably because of the rainy weather?

Hi

We moved the TB to Amsterdam from SLNC de Kabouter.
We didn't get the time from the next finder to log this one as a found.
We hope it as a nice fly to his next destination.
