Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Hey Dave
I think that is exactly what you got...my kids and I find wooley bears that are sometimes all black and some with the normal two tone coloring.
That guy[or gal] looks like it has some heavy fur so watch out for a bad winter...farmers almanac jargin.
feed it and hibernate it and see what developes
see ya in two weeks
The banded wooly bear is a different species that these, but closely related. This one is from an "eyed tiger moth", and the banded type are "isabella tiger moths". Try doing a search on www.whatsthatbug.com.
OK, I always was told that the width of the band on the striped wooly bear foretold of how severe the winter was going to be....(yeah, I know, old farmer talk, lol) but they ALL look pretty darn furry to me, never heard that the thickness of their "coat" was a sign too!!
FYI.....my horses are already starting to get a winter coat on them....NOT a good sign, they always seem to know how cold the winter is going to be!!
SLAP...ouch
Well Dave you were right and wrong I was, something I kinda wonder about though...As we all know it seems all corns and rat snakes interbreed and mix in collections producing morphs...I wonder if this is possible with moths and some insects, but then maybe not as pheremones might be specie specific.
The squirrels and wollies up here are slight banded this year and not bushy tailed so I wonder what my winter might be like
