Weather lore

According to the theory or lore, mainly black "woolly bear" worms predict a harsher winter. A mostly brown worm signifies a milder winter. If brown at the head with more black near the tail, it means a winter that starts mild and ends harshly. After having a good look at this fuzzy woolly worm while was sleeping, I noted that he/she had a big brown band on the middle. So according with this weather worm, we're going to have a moderate winter in Pennsylvania. This worm is the caterpillar of the Isabella tiger moth and good that it wasn't a bear that I found! 😊
