Peter wrote, "Never heard of wooly (should that be woolly? the
mind boggles!) worms"

Looked it up in the dictionary. Either spelling Wooly or Woolly
acceptable in the USA. Listed under "Woolly Bear: any of various
rather large very hairy moth caterpillars;  especially: one of a
tiger moth. Black and tan in bands. The width of the band is
supposed to indicate the severity of the winter, according to
folklore.
