  Thanks! This little guy was fast asleep, but it chose an exposed location on the ege of a meadow. We tucked it into the leaf litter in the meadow when putting it back. Hopefully it will be a safer spot for it. Posted 6 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.
