I was wondering what does it mean when a woolly bear Caterpillar has more of one color than another?

Question

My mom said something like it determins how long the winter will be, like they do when a groundhog sees his shadow in the spring. She was talking about the wolly bears stripes are sometimes longer in one color than the next stripes color.

Answer 1

It means that the wooly bear has more of one color than another - that's it. You can say it means anything you want - longer winters, shorter days, more trouble for Paris Hilton, whatever. Doesn't mean that it does, though.
