Butterflies (Lepidoptera) are insects which also includes moths. Their enchanting aerial dynamics are elusive wonders of nature.

Interesting facts:

*They can range in size from 1/8th inch to almost 12 inches.

*Butterflies cannot fly if their body temperature is less than 86 degrees.

*Antarctica is the only continent on which  no Lepidoptera have been found.

*Butterflies and insects have their skeleton on the outside of their bodies, called the exoskeleton. This protects the insect and keeps water inside their bodies so they don't dry out.

*They feed primarily on nectar from flowers. some derive nourishment from  pollen, tree sap, rotting fruit, dung and dissolved minerals in wet sand and dirt.

*They are important as pollinators for some species of plants.

To log a find for this cache please take a photo of a real butterfly ( not street art/signs etc) that you have come across in your geocaching travels. No need for a GPS to be in the pic as I know how quick you have to be to snap a pic of them.

You can log this cache as many times as you like providing there is someone elses log in between yours.

Maybe a brief description of your butterfly encounter.

Why did we name this cache Flutterbies.......our grand daughter couldn't pronounce butterflies and she called them flutterbies and now that has stuck with us even into her adulthood.

Have fun trying to find and take a photo of a butterfly!!
