Monday as we were working at the Depot Garden we spied this little guy munching away on the Joe Pye Weed….Yes…he is a yellow woolly bear, Spilosoma virginica. He was quite large….and absolutely adorable.
Like it’s cousin, Pyrrharctia Isabella, (the familiar black and brown wooly bear), it becomes a moth at adulthood. This charming fuzzy yellow guy become the white Virginia Tiger Moth.
