Seems to me that it’s a bit early but I saw my first Wooly Bear caterpillar this weekend while I was walking my dog. According to folklore Wooly Bears are weather predictors. More black than orange indicates a cold snowy winter while more orange tells us it will be a mild season. If you’re a fan of cold and lots of snow then you might just get your wish this Winter. The Wooly Bear I encountered was mostly black with just a touch of orange on each side. I hope he’s wrong. I don’t mind the snow but I’m definitely not a fan of cold cold weather. In the meantime I’ll keep watching for them hoping to find one with a better winter outlook. 🙂
