As you’re walking through the woods at Moreau, or just walking across your street you’re bound to find one of these little guys nearby. Folklore has it that woolly bears predict the severity of the upcoming winter based on the proportion of black and reddish brown banding on the caterpillar’s body. A thin reddish brown band means we are in for a tough winter. Here is a great, fun article by Jackie Woodcock as printed in the Adirondack Almanack.
