Wild Ginger was flowering on a high sunny ledge this afternoon. Last year I found it on the 17th.
And, although there is little food for them to eat, Woolly Bear caterpillars are active. These caterpillars are the larvae of the Isabella Tiger moth.
Due to extremely mild, snow free conditions I saw a woolly bear caterpillar crossing a Dummerston road on February 4th! Not a great time of year for a herbivore!!
