Wooly Bear

If you would have said "Pyrrharctia isabella" to me yesterday' I would have responded with a blank stare. Today I know, or think I know, that it is the Wooly Bear Caterpillar which, after cocooning, turns into the Tiger Moth. This is what I came up with after some extensive research.
 
I met the little fellow or (what's the female of fellow?) at the Ponds this morning. He/she was late for an appointment and could stop for only a moment. Just long enough to throw me a quick smile. Look at those pretty eyes!
