Hairy encounter
Frank Reardon encountered this furry critter in Iqaluit on Sept. 8. He believes it’s Pyrrharctia isabella, commonly known as the woolly bear caterpillar. The species freezes solid during the winter months in its caterpillar form and later reanimates in the spring. Then it creates a cocoon and emerges as an isabella tiger moth. (Photo by Frank Reardon)
