The Common Lacewing Larva

Chrysopidae

Description:

Larvae have either a more slender "humpbacked" shape with a prominent bulge on the thorax, or are plumper, with long bristles jutting out from the sides. These bristles will collect debris and food remains – the empty integuments of aphids, most notably – that provide camouflage from birds. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysopidae...)
