MONROE Hes back. My little Woolly Bear worm showed up Feb. 10, sunning himself that afternoon on the westside of The Monroe Times building.
A fearless, inquisitive fellow, right now hes exploring my camera case.
Woolly still has his long, rich, reddish-brown color segment, a telling tale that the winter was supposed to have been a mild one.
Even with a few weeks of sub-zero temperatures in January, compared to last years winter, Id take that as a bulls-eye prediction.
W.B. will be released in a few minutes, back into nature where he will seek out the nourishment he needs to spin his cocoon and become an orange-yellow Isabella Tiger Moth this spring.
