Love Bugs 16: Queen Isabella!

Another banded woolly bear caterpillar (the wool is actually setae, little bristles), this one will turn into an Isabella Tiger Moth. The caterpillar plays "dead" and curls up in a little ball when it is scared.

Queen Isabella of Castille was one of the most powerful women of the 15th century, and supported Christopher Columbus' voyages to America.
