Do maggots eat dead bodies?
Maggot is a general term for the larval form of an insect. They appear 2-5 days after an adult insect lays its eggs. In the case of a deceased animal, flies are usually the source of maggots. The flies lay their eggs after being drawn to the smell of rotting flesh. The eggs hatch into maggots and they get their nutrients from eating the body. This also aids in decomposition. Actually there is a field of forensics called forensic entymology or solving crimes by observing the insects/larva on a body. Each insect has a specific life cycle and the time it takes for the larva to hatch can be diagnostic.

What eat woolly caterpillar?
There are lots of "woolly" or fuzzy caterpillars out there. Without knowing which species you're talking about, it's impossible to tell you what they eat. The most common "woolly" caterpillar that most people think of is the "woolly bear" or "woolly worm" which is the caterpillar of the Isabella Tiger Moth. They're usually black at both ends with a rusty-red section in the middle, though they can be all red or all black. If you've got something different, try an entymology website to identify it. For care of a real woolly bear, read on: If you catch one in the fall, it's about to go into hibernation for the winter. You should either let it go, or keep it in an airtight container in your refrigerator until springtime. It will not need any food during this time, but you should mist it with water every few days so it doesn't dry up. Once the weather gets up to around 50 degrees the next spring, you can bring it out and it will come out of hibernation on its own. When you see it moving around again, you can keep it in almost any kind of container (tupperware, jar, small aquarium). Give it an inch or two of fresh grass and clover each day, mist it with water every day (just one spray is plenty, anymore could drown it), and make sure it has a sturdy twig or stick to climb up when it's ready to pupate (make a cocoon). It will become very still and stop moving for a day or two just before this time, so don't mistake it for being dead! (A dead woolly bear will be curled up and shrivelled). Once it forms its cocoon, leave it alone once again, no food needed, just the occasional spritz of water. In 1 to 3 weeks your new tiger moth will emerge! Allow it several hours to stretch its wings (don't touch it or move it during this time) and then release it to the wild. Adult tiger moths don't eat, and only live for a few weeks to mate and lay eggs, so there's no point in keeping one captive.
