Yes, a brown and black fuzzy caterpillar can be kept inside over the winter, but it's important to consider its specific species and life cycle. Many caterpillars enter a diapause stage during winter, so providing a suitable environment that mimics their natural habitat is crucial. Ensure the caterpillar has adequate food and moisture, and be mindful of temperature and light conditions. However, it's often best to let them survive outdoors unless you are prepared to care for them properly.
A brown caterpillar with black spots typically has a cylindrical body with a brown color and distinct black spots scattered along its back.
People look for the intensity of the black color on the banded caterpillars, that are black and brown, or they compare the ratio of the black to brown coloration on the bodies of the caterpillars. If there is more brown than black, they predict it will be a milder winter, and, if there is more black than brown, there will be a very harsh winter.
A moth is what a fuzzy, black and red-brown caterpillar may change into.Specifically, the woolly bear caterpillar is a fuzzy black and red-brown. It often is seen curled up on the ground and around plantings in fall. It changes into the Isabella tiger moth (Pyrrharctia isabella).
The caterpillar that is black with brown spots and has spikes on top of spikes is the passion butterfly. These caterpillars feed from the passionflower.
a black and brown fuzzy caterpillar eats....every thing that's a plant!
The wooly worm does not affect weather. They are indicators of weather because they are hardly ever seen in warm months such as July or June. We always see them in fall in a hurry to get somewhere. They are going into hibernation. So when you see a wooly worm headed somewhere during a month such as October or November that means cold temperatures are coming. ----- People look for the intensity of the black color on the banded caterpillars, that are black and brown, or they compare the ratio of the black to brown coloration on the bodies of the caterpillars.

The caterpillar that has black triangles is called a yellow-striped armyworm. It also has the color brown with a white stripe.

blister beetle caterpillar (if fuzzy or hairy) black widow brown recluse
when a wooly worm caterpillar's black bands are under than the brown one, what weather does this predict?
A brown fuzzy caterpillar can be identified by its brown color and fuzzy texture. Look for a caterpillar that is brown in color and covered in soft, hair-like projections.
There is a folklore belief that a white caterpillar (woolly bear caterpillar) with a narrow brown middle band predicts a harsh winter ahead, while one with a wider brown band predicts a milder winter. However, this is not scientifically proven and should not be relied upon for accurate weather forecasting.
