It took a while, but eventually the missing caterpillar was found, having morphed into a dull brown cocoon and attached itself to a sweatshirt. A clever disguise, indeed, but a tuft of leftover "yellow bear" fuzz was convincing evidence that the runaway had merely been seeking a place to overwinter. The cocoon is now tucked among leaves and mulch in a terrarium in the garage.
