tiger moth
Woolly bear's adulthood
Tiger moths are a family of moths known for their often bold, striped or spotted patterns in orange, yellow, black, and white—warning colors that signal their toxicity to predators.
Many produce ultrasonic clicks to jam bat echolocation.
Their caterpillars, called woolly bears, are densely covered in stiff hairs.
