Wooly Bear Caterpillar
Lens: EF100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM
When people think of a wooly bear caterpillar they immediately think of the banded wooly bear, which according to folklore can predict the severity of winter weather. But there are actually eight or more species that could be called wooly bears. The wooly bear caterpillar is the larval stage of the adult tiger moth. I'm not sure which species of wooly bear/tiger moth this one represents. it was feasting on weeds in our backyard.
