Woolly Bear Biology: Part 0

Greetings, all!

We're starting to get a lot more interest in the project as the woolly bear season approaches (spamming social media with links to this project doesn't hurt either! ;) )

As the project progresses I'll be adding notes about the biology of this fascinating creature. I think it'll be fun to add more data in batches as the project meets certain goals. Every 100 observations, I will add a new note about some aspect of Pyrrharctia isabella biology to the project journal. Hopefully, this will incentivize folks to keep checking back in with the project page and keep uploading records.

SO - The first goal: Once we reach 100 observations in this project, I'll add some of my personal observations on the sound production of P. isabella. Yes, that's right, the woolly bear produces sounds as an adult! I can't wait to tell you more about it (I've even got a recording to share!). We just need about 20 more observations!

Let's get to work!
