Fun Fact: In most temperate climates, caterpillars become moths within months of hatching, but in the Arctic the summer period for vegetative growth – and hence feeding – is so short that the Woolly Worm must feed for several summers, freezing again each winter before finally pupating. Some are known to live through as many as 14 winters!!
It looks as though they come to Beech Mountain and enjoy the slopes with all the extra time…
