Hello,
I agree with you it does look like a jumping worm, (note the cream colored saddle near the head), but I am not an expert. I have a link with images to confirm but you can also send this picture to the Plant Disease & Insect Clinic at NCSU. They usually respond very quickly and they will know exactly what you have and what to do about it.
