It isn't an Antlion - Chrysoperla

It isn't an Antlion - Chrysoperla
Albuquerque, Bernalillo County, New Mexico, USA
May 9, 2014
Size: body 4 mm
I was photographing Springtails yesterday evening (in the expansion cracks on the driveway) when this little fellow came racing-by. I got only one photo then he buried himself in the leaves and twigs that are in the expansion cracks. This is at an elevation of 6000 ft. and very pleasant temperatures. At first I thought he was an Antlion, but he looks different that the photos I've found on bugguide...any help? Thanks-sorry I only manage one picture.

Lacewing Larvae
Thank you...it makes perfect sense. We have a million (slight exaggeration) green lacewings here in our back yard. First time I've ever seen the lacewing larvae. Thank you for your quick response.
