🖤 Woolly bear 🧡
This little dude is just out here predicting the weather 🖤🧡🖤
The amount of black on the woolly caterpillar in the fall is supposedly linked to the severity of the upcoming winter. The black varies in each season, and in different areas, too.
According to legend, the longer the woolly bear’s black bands are, the more severe the upcoming winter will be… and the wider the middle brown band, the milder the winter will be.
Also, the position of the longest dark band is said to indicate which part of winter will be coldest. If the head end is dark, the beginning of winter will be worse. If the other end is dark, the end of winter will be colder.
According to the folklore, the 13 segments of the woolly bear’s body correspond to the 13 weeks of winter… the “woolier” the coat, the colder the winter.

🧡🎃Before Halloween was widely celebrated in the United States, kids started taking pumpkins — which were overwhelmingly plentiful during the months of September and October — and carving faces into them. After sticking a candle in the pumpkin to light it up, kids would run around frightening people with the spooky-looking objects. The so-called “carved pumpkin trick” became so popular that there were even how-to articles printed in magazines as early as 1842.🎃🧡
💛 Io Moth 💛
💛This Io Moth is sitting on a pumpkin leaf after the rain 💛
💛The io moth gets its name from the Greek goddess Io. According to Greek mythology, Io was a beautiful maiden who was turned into a cow by the jealous goddess Hera. The large eye spots on the hind wings of the io moth are supposed to represent the eyes of the cow.💛🐄
