Adult Fox Moths don't eat anything at all, surviving only on energy they stored as a hungry caterpillar!
Fox Moth caterpillars are famously called "woolly bears" because they are covered in long, fuzzy, bear-like hairs!
If a caterpillar gets too cold, it can actually freeze solid and then magically thaw out and wake up later!
Unlike most moths, male Fox Moths fly actively during the daytime to find mates, rather than only at night!
