A follow-up to sighting 4472759 showing what are possibly individual Antlion Lacewing larva. Imaged at 2.5x with a very thin focal plane which affects clarity. The larvae appear to have lighter coloured camouflage structures on their backs which may mimic smaller insects. Possibly an evolved lure for potential prey?
