Green Lacewings (Family Chrysopidae)Observer
brittlestar-galacticaDescription
Tiny insect with long skinny mandibles.
It is biting my finger in the photo and produced a small itchy bump after I removed it.
It has its old exoskeleton stuck to the top of it with some sand-debris.
The closest resembling insect I can think of is an antlion larva.
