How does a wooly worm caterpillar affect the weather?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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. 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.

What method can use to control caterpillar?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Trapping caterpillars is very easy. In late summer all you have to do is sit under a willow or oak tree and look up. These little things will start to fall from the tree, to capture all of them find two adjasent trees and lay a large net, with tight knitting, between the two trees. Wait about twenty minutes after you see the first one fall and then collect the net. Otherwise you can just pick them up. If the are black and white, flip them onto their stomach and they will have a little penguin on their belly. It is really quite cool. Hope it helps.

User Avatar

A caterpillar that has two colors is called a two tone caterpillar, but when it becomes a butterfly it will only have one color this reaction results in lack of time in a cocoon because a caterpillar that is two odd colors like ,brown and yellow, will have less time in a cocoon.

Is a caterpillar the baby of a butterfly?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, caterpillars hatch from tiny eggs that the moth or butterfly has laid. If you have a caterpillar in captivity and suddenly lots of babies appear, these come from eggs on the cabbage or whatever that the caterpillar has been feeding on.

A:I caught about 29 caterpillars from my cauliflowers and within about 8 days, about 9 caterpillars had lots of incy-wincy baby caterpillars like 25 per caterpillar. So I looked on the Internet and many sites say that caterpillars are babies so how would they have babies?

But then I found other sites and pictures on google images called caterpillar babies on page 2 and they look similar to my caterpillar however they are supposed to die not long after the babies hatch and that's what mine have done. So in my opinion yes caterpillars do have babies and then they wrap them up in a silky webs. They hatch and parent dies.
