      Thanks! To my knowledge I had never seen one before. Pretty fun to just sit and watch, if you have the patience! Posted 9 years ago

The Banded woolly bear

The moth "Pyrrharctia isabella" is known by different common names during its two main life stages. The adult is the Isabella Tiger Moth and the larva is called the Banded Woolly Bear. The larvae of many species of Arctiid moths are called "woolly bears" because of their long, thick, furlike setae.
