Re: woolyworms
The final definite conclusion is not in but the statistical analysis of coloration vs temperature/weather indicates no correlation.

There are no all black wooly worms of the species Issia isabela. There are all black caterpillars but they are much larger and of a different species.

I’m bogged down trying to raise caterpillars from eggs of captive moths raised from caterpillars. I need to see the color variation as they age.

It’s hard but I am 68 with plenty of time :)
