The Wooly Bear caterpillar occurs in many colour &quot;phases&quot;. I am
not aware of it being entirely black but several other Tiger Moth species
have black larva. Perhaps someone more experienced than I can comment
further.<br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">Lillian Perry and I found a
similar caterpillar on the tracks beside Swaine's Bog 27th August. It was
<b>entirely black</b>. The wooly bear I know (larva of the Isabella Tiger
Moth) has a rusty band around the middle. Cheers, Joan <br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">It's the well-known Wooly Bear
caterpillar which develops into the Isabella Tiger Moth. Most times when
you handle it, it curls up. Thus it's difficult to get a pic like Murray
did. <br>
