Tale of Tails
Posted by Barb York on April 14, 2006
Q: Have to love those Woolly Bears. I loved them as a child and still marvel as a 40 year old ! My question is, it's mid April in CT. The Woollys are active in my back yard - I assume looking for a place to build a cocoon. Where is the BEST place to move the little guy so he can build his cocoon ???
State: Connecticut
A: They'll find some location under a board, under leaves, or in a crevice somewhere to pupate. They don't need much shelter but do seem to prefer a hidden location. See if you locate a nook or cranny where your little guy can go. Of course, it will have "ideas" of its own and may simply crawl away from where you place it. Good luck with Woolly Bear.
