where did i see pics of little plastic bugs that people are putting in caches?

[+bonblu]

i grabbed 2 this weekend...one is a little yellow lady bug looking bug(black with a yellow back and black dots on the back), the other is a bigger fly,....

 

i have seen pics of these somewhere.....i'm sure of it, but today i can't find where i saw them before....

are these "special" bugs of some sort?

 

thanks,

Not sure if this is it exactly but the Groundspeak store sells specialized tags.

It almost sounds like they were Cachekinz (as BD's link provides)... Cachekinz are aluminum and the ladybug is red.

 

If they are Cachekinz they are trackable, but you did not log the two that you say you picked up grabbed.

 

I wonder...

well, the 2 caches that i found them in both were said to have travel bugs, but neither had the metal dog tag type that i was thinking they would be and i have seen before. (i have found 2 of those so far and logged them both.)

 

these plastic bugs (that i found saturday) have no type of numbers or anything......???

 

i did look at that link, and didn't see what i was looking for and was pretty sure i saw last week.....

 

peace,

Sounds like the items were straight-up swag.

 

Need numbers for tracking and a reference to a website capable of performing the track.

 

All trackable items (that I know of) are constructed of metal. Plastics generally do not have a very long lifespan.

 

Good luck, maybe you can find some more of them, perhaps they are a local thing.
