Camouflaged Insect - Yumachrysa

Camouflaged Insect - Yumachrysa
San Pedro River Valley, SE of San Manuel, Pinal County, Arizona, USA
May 18, 2012
Tiny, almost invisible in flowers of Catclaw (Acacia greggi), only noticed when it trapped a tiny beetle; Sonoran desert area, under mesquite forest. I think this may be a Green Lacewing nymph.

Moved from Unidentified Debris-Carrying Larvae.

Facial markings and thoracic markings as in Tauber (1975).(1) Scolus length also aligns, and the abdominal setae appear to be of the correct length and arrangement. Though as the order is holometabolous, they're properly denoted as larvae and not nymphs.

You are correct.
One of the debris-carrying larvae.
