Hi steemian, today I just saw the caterpillar species that I got in the garden behind my house. Looks like this is the forerunner of Woolly Bear Caterpillar it is visible from his dense, sharp fur on top. I'm sure, it must be them.
In science, the caterpillar is a species that many found like one of the caterpillar species that I found. Some sources also mention this caterpillar as an Isabella tiger moth (Pyrrharctia isabella).
Based on the information I quoted in Wikipedia Pyrrharctia isabella (Isabella tiger moth) can be found in many cold regions, including the Arctic. The banded woolly bear larva emerges from the egg in the fall and overwinters in its caterpillar form, when it freezes solid. It survives being frozen by producing a cryoprotectant in its tissues. In the spring it thaws out and emerges to pupate. Once it emerges from its pupa as a moth it has only days to find a mate.
In most temperate climates, caterpillars become moths within months of hatching, but in the Arctic the summer period for vegetative growth � and hence feeding � is so short that the Woolly Bear must feed for several summers, freezing again each winter before finally pupating. Some are known to live through as many as 14 winters.
I am one of the lucky ones today for getting this caterpillar. I feel very happy because I can learn about them. In my writing I hope you can give me some advanced knowledge of this species that I found. Below I also give some pictures that I have prepared for you, of course I take this picture carefully and give priority to the art of photography that I take with macro lens.
Great photos, very detailed and colorful! Caterpillars are such interesting creatures! Thanks @safar01

The caterpillar's range of defense tactics is really interesting.

Awesome, another naturalist. I think I'll post a weird bug too, then, feel free to tell me what it is... I can't find any data on it...
Following!
