I’ve read the wider the woolly bear caterpillar’s band, the milder the upcoming winter.
According to folklore, if the caterpillar’s orange band is narrow, it will be a snowy winter. A fuzzier-than-normal woolly bear caterpillar-that winter will be very cold.
I saw this little weather forecaster on an euonymus bush near the back deck.
This caterpillar doesn’t really have a wide band.. another winter with lots of snow? I hope woolly bear fattens up. 😊
Eventually the orange caterpillar will turn into the Isabella tiger moth. You can recognize these moths by their yellowy-orange colored wings, black legs, and small black spots on wings and breast.
