Thank you Maggie and for the private email too. I tried both sites and didn't find a caterpillar. Went on ebay and found a kind of crochet looking thing, but not what I needed.

In the meantime, I just charged ahead and at least it seems to be going in the right direction. It needs to be pretty big in order to be visible onstage and I'm afraid it may be so big that it will scare the kids, but.... I'm using a kind of bright green with a white belly. I made lumps and a tail that kind of sticks up and a round head. If it comes together, I'll send a photo.

Thanks again.
