ofcapri says:

The woolly bear caterpillar also has a habit of curling up into a ball and remaining motionless when it is disturbed or encounters danger. In some cultures this behavior has metamorphosed the word “caterpillar” from a noun into a verb, as in, “He caterpillared when he was given a difficult assignment.”

It is black except for a reddish-brown band across its middle. Legend has it that the wider the middle band, the less severe the forthcoming winter. A narrow band predicts a longer, colder and snowier winter to come.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.theconcordinsider.com/article/a-woolly-weatherworm"><P>The cute and fuzzy woolly bear caterpillar has become a permanent fixture in American folklore and has expanded the use of the word “caterpillar.” Even after reading the daily weather report, we will still look to the woolly bear as a mini-meteorologist, just for the fun of it. But we must not caterpillar into inactivity when the first snow flies.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/89B2E164-5252-4040-AB54-CA9D14394AFE/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
