Roy Krege commented the worm was overall a dark worm.

The 34th Annual Woolly Worm Festival is here (October 15 & 16) and the weekend forecast calls for sunshine and mid 60's, great for wacing woolly worms! The mountain vistas are beautiful with   vibrant autumn leaves, with colors of reds, oranges and gold.  It's fall and that means fun in the High Country with more family festivals  like the  Woolly Worm Festival in downtown Banner Elk  and  the Valle Country Fair in Valle Crucis.  Hey wunners sign up for the Woolly Worm Woad Wace being held on Saturday October 15, a challenging 5 mile road and cross country course .
