User's notes

Has six legs, tiny eyes, pincers, 'hairs', and a lot of 'stuff' on it back that it may have inadvertently collected on its 'hairs' or may be part of the insect. If the latter then a really weird insect.

A green lace wing larvae that decorates itself with the discarded remnants of previous meals and plant detritus.
