Be on the lookout for woolly caterpillar, aka "yellow bear" (pictured at right), last seen circling the top of its critter keeper. Suspect is a Virginia tiger moth larva, and was preparing to pupate when it escaped from captivity. Possible hideouts might be inside the pullout couch or the heat ducts. Effort should be made to keep predators from the area (keep the living room door closed so the cats don't eat the poor fellow). Missing caterpillar is capable of changing disguises, and may reappear in an entirely different form.
