It's that time of year to be watchful of Banded Woolly Bears
crossing the trails. The orange-and-black form is the most common., but
they can also be wholly blond, brown, rust, and tan. The second
photograph shows another variant form. Why they cross the trail is
puzzling as they eat virtually anything. Such movement exposes them to
unnecessary risks. "Rural legend" states that the narrower the orange
band, the colder the Winter. 10/26/15 (Wolf. Oesterreich)
