Flutterbies
A Letterbox Adventure
Butterflies in Texas
“Adult butterflies feed on flower nectar, using it as an energy source for flight and egg production. Some butterflies also are attracted to moist soil at puddles and pond edges and fermenting sap exuding from wounds on tree trunks. Butterflies rest, hidden in foliage of plants, during nights and on cloudy or rainy days.
Butterflies are most abundant from spring through fall. Several species of butterflies--monarchs, cloudless sulfurs and snout butterflies-- migrate during late summer and fall. Plants that flower throughout the summer and into October and November attract migrating butterflies.”
For More fun, here is a webquest for children about Texas Butterflies:
http://www.coe.unt.edu/teachertools/webquests/butterflies/butterflywebquest.htm
Here is the clue:
Go to Granbury Town Square. Drive north on Houston Street to parking area in Shanley Park where the wooden Gazebo is located.
Walk 23 paces down the hill from the Gazebo toward the water. Before arriving to the bridge, look to the left for a rock in memory of Victoria. The box is buried at the base of that rock.
Happy Hunting! Please feel free to drop me a postcard and let me know how the box is surviving the weather. This is my first attempt at a letterbox, and hope you enjoy it.
