It's pretty hard to see but prior to the snow hitting I found this Woolly Bear Caterpillar on my driveway. I believe it is searching for food, which would include most wild plants. This means that it would serve as a primary consumer in its given environment. Another reason it was walking across my driveway would be to find shelter somewhere else. It was moving towards an area with plenty of trees, so that's probably where it was going to settle in. FUN FACT : The Woolly Bear Caterpillar is known to be a predictor of winter weather. The smaller the brown stripe is on the back, the harder the snow will hit in the winter. Seeing that this one's stripe isn't that big compared to others I found online, I think we will be getting quite a bit of snow this winter.
