Geocache Description:

Please bring a pen to sign the log.

Pyrrharctia isabella is the larvae of this species which are the subject of common folklore, which has it that the forthcoming severity of a winter can be predicted by the amount of black on the caterpillar; this is the most familiar woolly bear in North America. But in fact, wikipedia.org explains the larvae produced in the same clutch of eggs can vary from mostly red to mostly black, even when reared under the same conditions, and this variability invalidates any actual temperature-related trends that may otherwise be evident. In fact, the orange band will grow towards the ends of the body, with the black bands decreasing in size, as the larva matures.

We enjoy the folk lore of weather predictions as it pertains to the fuzzy worm or wooly bear catepillar. Have you noted the coloring in this year's?
