2016 September 14 morning<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/strong><\/p>\n

   <\/strong>Now is the season for woolly bear<\/strong> caterpillars.   Two different sorts appeared on the September 11 posting.  Ron Flower sends pictures of a third species, from Panama Flats, September 12.  These are colour varieties of the Yellow Woolly Bear<\/strong> Spilosoma virginica<\/em><\/strong>.  Keep a look-out for the Banded Woolly Bear.  October is their peak season, but a few will probably be spotted in September. Panama Flats is a good location to find them.<\/p>\n
