    I saw a total of 1 this season, and that's it. I was wondering what was up with them myself. I'm in northeastern Pa, and normally I see a bunch of them!

    No woolly bears, but we had an absolute swarm of ladybugs at work yesterday!

    One year, before the coldest winter in recent memory, I saw a woolly bear that was solid red! No black at all.

    Hadn't realized until you mentioned it, haven't seen a one! Oh no, what's that MEAN????

    Good thing I bought a snow suit for Marlin Darlin' last year, and the end of year closeouts! The other three can survive, but he will be toasty!

    I haven't seen one wooly bear or ladybug this year. At my last house, the ladybugs were awful. They were all over the front of my house and it looked like the wall was moving. Someone told me that they weren't actual ladybugs but something else, though I can't recall what he said they were. Last year at this house it was earwigs that were giving me problems. Those things pinch plus they're ugly and freak me out!
    Blessings,

    I've only seen three wooly bears this year, a white one and two black and rust. They look like my Jake. As for the 'orange' ladybugs, hadn't seen any until today because it warmed up. And yes they do bite! Oh, I live in Ohio.

    We don't have wooly bear caterpillars here, ever.

    I love ladybugs! We have few of those, as well.

    I HATE earwigs. Gross!
