Wes came back from his afternoon walk yesterday with this tiny caterpillar in his palm. He said he’d never seen such a small one and neither had I. After I took this picture, I let it go in the back yard and knew I would use it for a blog post. Then, I realized I’d never known what kind of butterfly or moth comes from this caterpillar, so I googled it. I found out the caterpillar overwinters, freezing solid, and then pupates in the spring becoming the Isabella tiger moth. I know I’ve seen these moths, just didn’t know they were from wooly bears.
