Yesterday, a wooly bear caterpillar was crawling very fast down our driveway.
It was too fast for me- by the time I went back with a camera, it was gone. I have not seen a wooly bear in years. They become the Isabella Tiger Moth, which is such a lyrical name.
There's a lot of fun folklore associated with the size of the bands, and whether the winter will be harsh. If I took it seriously, I would think this year is going to be harsh based on the size of the black bands on the one I saw.
NOAA has a page on the folklore:
Wooly Bear
I hope to see another one and post a picture!
