Why did a Caterpillar Crossed the Road?
WOOLLY BEAR or FUZZY BEAR caterpillars
- ISABELLA TIGER MOTH CATERPILLAR:
( Pyrrharctia Isabella).
Up to 2" long, very brave little creatures -
are often found crawling across roads or sidewalks in the fall
after they have left their foodplants in search of a dark and sheltered spot ...
... where they can hibernate for the winter.
With springtime warmth, the caterpillars again become active, feeding for a
brief time and then fashioning
cocoons out of silk and body hairs.
TIGER MOTH usually emerge from cocoons 2 to 3 weeks later. It is a
beautiful moth, golden yellow
colored.
I hope to have a photo for you one day ....
