Do you have anyother information about this photos? Would you like to keep them in the request section or frass them?

 
Please keep in the request se
Please keep in the request section. I will look back to my florida photos but this is the only "thing" that I have seen look this way. I saw larvae mating or resting together and this is much larger in size. It appears to have 4 eggs around it, maybe some other insect did that part however.

 
Regarding the other larvae -
did you get pictures and/or identify them, or the plant they were on?

(BTW they might have been resting but they wouldn't have been mating - the adult is the only reproductive stage).

Did you get any other angles on this?
it has the look of a beetle larva or pupa to me. I don't know what the white things are, though.

 
What about a pupa of the
Willow Leaf beetle we have in the guide here ? But the pupa looks a little different in Scott's image. But the larva Richard posted with his looks a lot like it
