ceejaytown, the head is attached to the body by what appears to be a very, very short neck that is black on top and goldish underneath. There are 2 eyes. It is one insect - nothing eating a woolly bear. I was right by and its head was over an area of the leaf that had been eaten and it appeared to be eating the leaf. I never took a photo of its mouth in actual contact with the leaf because it was difficult to get the right angle. It was alive when I brought it in; however, it seemed to gradually just quit moving and died. It appeared to go into shock after all of the photos I took with the flash on. After I finish covering my plants and bringing some in due to the ice strom that is expected here tomorrow, I will take some photos of the deceased critter.
