Have you spotted any 'Woolly Bears' this summer? This exceedingly hairy and striking caterpillar is a garden tiger moth. Its hairs act as an irritant and protect it from predators, such as birds – be warned in case you pick one up! It feeds on nettles, dock leaves and many garden plants #lovewildlife | Ulster Wildlife

Meet the Zombie of the Arctic! 🧟‍♂️🐛 The Arctic Woolly Bear Caterpillar lives for 14 years, but spends 90% of that time FROZEN SOLID. At -60°F, its heart stops, its blood turns to antifreeze, and it becomes a literal rock. Every spring, it simply thaws out and goes back to work. It dies and comes back to life nearly a dozen times! ❄️✨ #ArcticWoollyBear #NaturePhotography #WildlifeDocumentary #FrozenZombie #ScienceFacts #NationalGeographic #BBCEarth #Survival #ArcticWildlife #8KMacro | Anatomy
