We've got several tucked into corners in our eagle flight pen..waiting to
see what the outcome will be for them this spring though not hopeful as
they aren't covered. Also confessing I don't know much about insect
overwintering :)

I was very surprised to see a wooly bear caterpillar in the middle
of the road; on picking it up, it promptly curled into a ball. Not
quite sure what the best thing to do with it was, I put it in some
leafy debris in a dense relatively wind protected part of the road
alongside where I found it. I know they survive overwintering, but
do they survive waking up in midwinter as this one did, presumably
due to the ridiculously warm day we had the day before?<br>
