I was actually stung by a woolly bear caterpillar. I came in contact with the caterpillar and now I have itchy sores at the site where I came in contact with one. They itch extremely bad and they still haven't gotten better and it has been 5 days. I also had an allergic reaction to the poison so I broke out all over. I advise you not to touch these things!!!

How do you get a woolly bear caterpillar out of a ball?

To get a woolly bear caterpillar out of a ball, you need to show it you mean no harm. Make it a good habitat. Woolly Bear Caterpillars eat leaves or plants of any kind they eat during the night and sleep during the day. They usually have two stripes on them and one middle color depending on their health if it's this type of caterpillar. They will soon be an Isabella Tiger Moth when they are out of their cocoons.
