Looks a lot like Loscopia but maybe later than normal for that and others look very similar

Little caterpillars chewing the heck out of the burclover. Brown heads. The very tiniest ones had light brown bodies.

Este es un gusano de la amazonia ecuatoriana, que estaban en cadena al cruza una piedra y decidí tomarlos fotos, donde unidos parecían un gusano super grande, sus colores y su pelusa te puede dar comezones si le tocas.

PLEASE NOTE - this observation is NOT for the bee... it's for the parasitic larvae attached to the bee's thorax.
I did some preliminary digging and found examples of beetle larvae attaching to a digger bee [1] and a miner bee [2]
Apparently the larvae will end up in the female's nest and consume the food she's gathered for her young as well as her eggs. Source #2 (below) is especially instructive about the process which involves the larvae emitting a scent that mimics a female bee's pheromones.
I will note that when we first arrived at this location, I noted a few bees buzzing around the wooden post of a sign. By time these photos were taken 15 minutes later, there were considerably more bees buzzing around and I was observing mating behavior. I don't know if the increased activity and observed mating behavior was due to larvae's presence or whether that increase in activity would have occurred naturally, larvae or not.
I believe the bee is a Cellophane Bee. Observations for this bee and others close by are here:
