Saw a post about a woolly bear caterpillar. Reminded, this one was also on the bike path. Took a moment to place it off the beaten track.

I found three of these guys today while moving wood. I'm like "Sigh... Let's get you somewhere safe..." and carry it over to where I was stripping bark off logs, and tuck it between bark pieces.

Being cute takes you a long way with me. I swerve to miss woolly bears on the road :^D

Another little woolly bear buddy (𝘗𝘺𝘳𝘳𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘢 𝘪𝘴𝘢𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢) from Thompson Park:

Well, this woolly bear caterpillar (supposedly a harbinger of Winter) certainly brought chillier temperatures along with him. #Photography #WoollyBear #Nature #Chicago

Woolly Bears and Colder Weather

A bit envious of this woolly bear caterpillar’s coat given that the temperatures have dropped here in the Midwest. But then the woolly bears were always a harbinger of the Winter to come.
