Tomorrow the annual Wooly Bear Festval takes place in Vermilion, Ohio. The darker & heavier coat on the little worms announce the coming Winter season will be severe, legend says. A lighter coat means a mild Winter is in store. Older WV men called them "measuring worms". If you were lucky enough to have one hump up your pants leg, it meant you were being measured for a new suit of clothes , or you would soon get some money to visit a tailor. It never worked for me !

I've seen a few already... and this year so far, they have been almost completely brown!

Shelby, I have come across two in the past few weeks. One was all brown and the othere one only had a small piece of black on one end. I guess we are in for a mild winter. I hope so. We had our first snow last year before Halloween.
