From volume 1, issue #34, dated Feb 7th, 1943
Columbia Pictures at Hollywood announced that entomologists have been hired to conduct a nationwide search for a photogenic caterpillar. When the bug hunters finally locate the right caterpillar, a New York flea trainer will teach it to dance. The lucky bug will be co-starred with Rita Hayworth in "My Client Curly."

Yank Archive curator's comments:
The film was released in 1944 under the title "Once Upon a Time", minus Rita Hayworth (Janet Blair instead). They never managed to teach the caterpillar to dance. Here is the IMBD entry.
About newsbites: Each issue of Yank had dozens of short reports on events from the homefront as well as the battlefront. They provide a fascinating glimpse into life during the war.
