+Learned Gerbil Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I will be visiting Finland again some time in May and have been looking at caches in the area where I will be visiting. All of them have in the description "larva cache" what does that mean? Quote Link to comment
+OsMi Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Hi, I think that that name is used here in Finland of caches that are children of some breeder (mother) cache. Usually larva caches are just ordinary caches and the name just means that they exist because some other cache. What might the proper english name be for such a cache? - OsMi Quote Link to comment
+Mikkozzz Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I think the description of Finland's first breeder Maammo tells it all Quote Link to comment
Varvikello Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Yes, english translation for word "toukka" is larva. In some caches there is a rule to make new cache (larva) before one can log that breeder cache as found. Quote Link to comment
+Learned Gerbil Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share Posted February 16, 2007 Thanks. I have never come across breeder caches in the UK. I think a better English tanslation would be "child" or better still, "offspring". Quote Link to comment
+ncfinn Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 In the U.S., at least in some areas, the term larva is used. There is a "breeder" cache that has containers for other caches. You can not log a find for the breeder until you have placed the container you take as a new cache yourself. Sometimes there are rules about where the new cache has to be. This kind of cache can also be called a "seed" cache. They don't always require you to hide a new cache, but they do encourage it.or a "host" Quote Link to comment
