User's notes

The sequence of images possibly shows a 'nightmare' of Antlion Lacewing larvae, recently hatched and clustered together motionless beneath the egg sacs. The second image shows a characteristic U-shaped egg sac structure which was hanging from stalks at high level beneath the eaves of a house. Image 3 shows a side view of the egg sac structure taken upside down for viewing clarity. Images 4 and 5 show individual larva, not quite in focus due to the subject size and the very thin depth of field at this magnification.
