Holy shit this thing has the cutest name ever. BANDED WOOLLY BEAR CATERPILLAR.
A tech walking through noticed it. I gave it a box and some leaves.

Ouch. That’s not much brown, it’s going to be a bad winter. The longer the brown stripe, the milder the winter.

Confession time: I’ve almost crashed trying to avoid these little guys when I see them in the road.

It’s bad when it’s a freshly re-done road and so there’s a billion of them and you have no choice but to run some over. I hate that.

We used to find them all the time in Massachusetts growing up.
From Wikipedia: Research [6] has shown that the larvae of a related moth Grammia incorrupta (whose larvae are also called “woollybears”) consume alkaloid -laden leaves that help fight off internal parasitic fly larvae. This phenomenon is said to be “the first clear demonstration of self-medication among insects”.
The moths are kind of ugly.

Yeah if I come into work and this thing is in a cocoon or full blown moth mode it’s getting thrown outside. Gently.

Yeah, had that happen few times too.
I’m always amazed how much they stand out on the road and how easily I’m able to see them at speed.

Does bear in the name mean it’s poisonous enough to kill a bear?
