Isabella tiger moth caterpillar, aka the woolly bear, are a common sight across Nova Scotia. The larva emerges from an egg in the fall and overwinters in its caterpillar form. Most of the body freezes solid - first the heart, then intestines, the blood, and rest of the body. Because of the cryoprotectant in its tissues, the woolly bear can freeze for the winter and thaw in the spring. In folklore, it is believed that if the brown band of the woolly bear’s body is wide, the winter weather will be

The woolly bear caterpillar (the larval stage of the Isabella tiger moth) is often said to predict the severity of the coming winter based on the width of its brown band: • Wide brown band → A milder winter ahead. • Narrow brown band (more black at the ends) → A harsher, colder winter. This belief comes from American folklore and has been around since the 1800s. In reality, scientists have found that the band size is more related to the caterpillar’s age, growth stage, and past weather condition

Not a slug, but a woolly bear caterpillar! This type of caterpillar becomes a beautiful Isabella tiger moth. I love watching these caterpillars inch along like multicolor dust bunnies in the yard. All about observing, and not interrupting thier existence with human touch. #woollybear #woollybearcaterpillar #slugtok #pnwslugs #pnwbugs #bugfriends #fyp

🐛 Did you know the stripes of the Isabella tiger moth caterpillar—better known as the woolly bear—have long been used to “predict” the coming winter? ❄️ Legend says: 🌑 More black = a harsher, longer winter 🤎 More brown = a milder season ahead Science may not fully agree, but the story invites us to slow down, look closer, and wonder. 🍂 🍁Check out our Through the Seasons article in our Autumn issue of Reclaiming Our Roots magazine- the Sit Spot!
