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?
No. There are many kind of woolly or hairy caterpillars and they all eat very specific types of leaf.
There are several species of caterpillars that can be found in Wyoming. These include banded woolly bear caterpillar and the white lined sphinx caterpillar.
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 caterpillar you are referring to is called the Banded Woolly Bear caterpillar.
