We cannot be sure, but beside us right now is an orange and black, banded, wooly caterpillar that we are pretty sure is a wooly bear caterpillar.
when a wooly worm caterpillar's black bands are under than the brown one, what weather does this predict?
There are several species of caterpillars that can be found in Wyoming. These include banded woolly bear caterpillar and the white lined sphinx caterpillar.
No. There are many kind of woolly or hairy caterpillars and they all eat very specific types of leaf.
This would be a woolly bear caterpillar (banded woolly bear.) They are found through out North American except Canada.
Whatever u want to do
Frogs are the enemies of wooly bear caterpillars.
A wooly bear Caterpillar turns into a tiger moth, usually found on the road or in the grass around winter. The bigger the orange strip the closer winter is. Woolly bear caterpillars are found in north America and Mexico but not Canada, it's to cold there.
Keep it in a warm dark space, like a closet
It does not turn into a butterfly at all. It turns into the Isabella Tiger Moth.
it also eats leaves I guess
5 .10 maybe 15 pounds depends how tall they are. This is a question for a doctor.
The larvae of many species of Arctiid moths are called "woolly bears" because of their long, thick, furlike setae.For example the Banded Woolly Bear is an Isabella Tiger Moth as an adult. and the larva is called the Banded Woolly Bear. Caterpillars normally become moths within months of hatching in most temperate climates, but in the frigid Arctic where the warmth necessary for vegetative growth is so short, that the Woolly Bear feeds for several summers, freezing solid each winter before it finally pupating. Some are known to live through as many as 14 wintersThe insect can be found in many cold regions, including the Arctic. The banded Woolly Bear larva emerges from the egg in the fall and overwinters in its caterpillar form, when it literally freezes solid. First its heart stops beating, then its gut freezes, then its blood, followed by the rest of the body. It survives being frozen by producing a cryoprotectant in its tissues. In the spring it thaws out and emerges to pupate. Once it emerges from its pupa as a moth it has only days to find a mate before it dies..
