I believe it's actually one of Hagrid's blast-ended skrewts. Of course, they 
didn't have any visible heads, so my second guess would be Rita Skeeter.

<< Please Help!  I facilitate a Harry Potter book club for middle school
students and they have a question I can not answer.  On the back cover of
the American edition of Goblet of Fire, there is a picture we can not
identify.    The picture is: on the back of the cover, on the left hand
side, toward the middle of the page, below the Beauxbatons' carriage, split
in half by the dragon wing.  It is a tan/yellow object with a split down the
middle and 2 strings out of the top.  Our guess was that it was Rita Skeeter
as an animagi but, her beetle picture is on the first page of Chapter 37
"The Beginning". >>
