That is so cool that you saw the dead leaf caterpillar in real life! Justin used to pore over insect books when he was younger and both of us were fascinated by the photos of the dead leaf caterpillars and how much they really looked like dead leaves!Bonnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11608328439375705263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-62899728846345180822017-11-25T17:20:19.961-05:002017-11-25T17:20:19.961-05:00I think this post wins the prize for noticing ... ...I think this post wins the prize for noticing ... and researching!

By looking out my window I can tell it is going to be a dry winter. To my knowledge, we have no woolly bears, but since it's too warm for the resorts to make snow, I can surmise on my own.

Nature continues to delight if we take notice, yeah? I, too, have never found woolly bears to be predictive of the weather, but I haven't seen any this year. My most recent find was a caterpillar that looks like a dead leaf. I suppose I had seen them before, but not known they were caterpillars. I was fascinated when I noticed the legs!becksterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02147945810663254093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-4391297812144483262017-11-25T08:22:31.323-05:002017-11-25T08:22:31.323-05:00What a cool find in the leaves!!!

So I guess it's possible that they were right all along and I just had no idea. Whatever the case, I haven't seen any Woolly Bears at all around here yet this year.
