The most common black and brown fuzzy caterpillar is known as the woolly bear caterpillar, which turns into a tiger moth species when mature. The caterpillars have fuzzy looking bristles that are black on both ends and reddish brown in the middle. They are caterpillars of the Isabella Tiger Moth. Habitat: The Woolly Bear (aka Banded Woolly Bear) can be found in The United States, Southern Canada, and Mexico. Woolly bears are bristly but their bristles are not the venomous kind.
