The Woolly Bear Caterpillar Myth


There is a myth that the coloration of the woolly bear caterpillar is an indicator of what the Winter weather will be. If the caterpillar has a wide brown band it is supposed to be a mild Winter and if the color is mostly black with a thin brown band or absent brown color it will be a harsh Winter. The caterpillar above was crawling in the yard behind the garage. If it is an sign that we could trust it would certainly be good news. I suppose that this is why the concept of coloration of this caterpillar is called a myth.
