these are great photos!
they show so much detail, you can see all the hard work the lacewings put into protecting their babies. well done.

 
Self-protection?
Didn't the babies (larvae) make those cocoons themselves before pupating?

 
larva
Yes, the larva produced the cocoons themselves. No adult was present.

 
Pupae?
I guess that at this stage they are pupae; the larvae are carnivorous and very active.
