Perhaps someone more experienced than I can comment further.<br> Angus<br><br> At 11:31 AM 9/6/2006, you wrote:<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.
