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!!!
every where
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.

The caterpillar you are referring to is called the Banded Woolly Bear caterpillar.

No. There is no basis for this.
It is dead when it is curled up and not moving
The caterpillar with long black hairs on its body is likely a woolly bear caterpillar.
No. Its really a catipillar. Its called a woolly bear because of of the fur covering its body looks like bear fur.No! It is not a bear. Woolly bears are the nickname for a type of caterpillar of the Arctiidae family. They are called "woolly bears" because they have a dense furry covering. After they come out of their cocoon, they become tiger moths. It's the only time in nature when a bear can grow up into a tiger!Just like a real bear, you probably shouldn't touch a woolly bear. Though it may not have teeth or claws, its soft looking hairs can sometimes sting you.

Yes, but they only reproduce as adults. The caterpillar is the immature stage of what will become a moth.
This would be a woolly bear caterpillar (banded woolly bear.) They are found through out North American except Canada.
