Pyrrharctia isabella, the Isabella tiger moth, whose larval form is called the banded woolly bear, woolly bear, or woolly worm, occurs in the United States and southern Canada. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It was first formally named by James Edward Smith in 1797.
Isabella tiger moths (Pyrrharctia isabella) overwinter in the caterpillar stage. They can survive freezing at moderate subzero temperatures by producing a cryoprotectant chemical. [ 13 ] The larvae of another species, Phragmatobia fuliginosa , may be found on snow seeking a place to pupate.
