Q: Where (in what specific habitat) does the wooly bear spend its winter and in what stage of its life cycle does it

spend the winter?

A: Woolly Bears are the immature form (caterpillar) of the Isabella Moth. Woolly Bears are often found near fields where they feed on Plantain and other related plants. The Woolly Bear hibernates over winter in the larval (caterpillar) stage, then pupates in the spring before emerging as an adult moth.

Thanks for asking.
