ID: Lacewing larva? seeking experts' opinion
One of the most common sightings along the trail, there were several lacewing eggs popping off from different places. For this instance a rock face was selected as the place to lay the eggs, but there was something interesting here.
There seemed to be something moving up and down the hairy stalks of the eggs, on close observation, it seemed like a lacewing larva moving around, not sure what it was doing as it surely didnt hatch from it, and rather was traversing on the unhatched ones. While I went close to capture it, it started traversing down, as seen in the first image, and rather got off it and started moving away from the eggs and later disappearing in the dry foliage of the trail
EXIF:
Canon 80D
Canon 100mm macro + Raynox DCR 250
F/18
Shutterspeed 1/125
ISO 400
Handheld, External flash fired
