no.
I really don't think that worms hibernate. Only mammals.
Woolly worms, also known as woolly bear caterpillars, turn into moths. They undergo metamorphosis, where they spin a cocoon and transform into a moth before emerging as an adult.
in fact, moles do not hibernate. and neither do worms. and neither of these two fly, either.
Woolly worms, or woolly bear caterpillars, are often seen in July as they emerge from their eggs and begin their growth phase. During this time, they actively feed on various plants, preparing for their eventual transformation into moths. The presence of woolly worms in summer indicates that the caterpillars are in their larval stage, which typically occurs before they enter hibernation in colder months. Their appearance can also vary based on local climate conditions and food availability.
It does not turn into a butterfly at all. It turns into the Isabella Tiger Moth.
I live by the South Downs, and frequently see slowworms in my garden from Spring when they're tiny through summer when they've grown to a good size. I've trained my cat to ignore them, and do my best to encourage them. They're always a pleasure to see.
i think they use the soil and it helps by using the nutrients in it to regulate
People who believe woolly worms can predict the weather think that a narrow red-brown band means a harsh winter. The wider the red-brown band is, the milder the coming winter is supposed to be.
yes woolly worms bite and they sting and itch real bad they also leave a lot of red marks after they bite you experienced been biten before
Worms use their muscles and setae, short bristly hairs, to move. The setae help them control their speed, and latch on to the ground. They have two kinds of muscles: circular and longitudinal. When they tighten their circular muscles they become long and thin, and their front end moves forward. Then they contract their longitudinal muscles to move their back end toward their front end.
Like elephants, they just slept on their sides, in their herd. They were light sleepers and stayed awake for most of the day to be on watch for predators. They just slept on the ground, but probably behind something like a rock or by a cave.
