I agree with Juan. Certainly a predatory neuropteran larva - and quite possibly feeding on the eggs.
I would suspect it is a Chrysopidae

There is a picture of a larva on this page - as well as the chrysopid eggs, which are stalked and very distinctive.
mmm, its an inmature so is more probably trying to eat them
Thank you, Juan. Do you think those eggs are their?
This is a Neuropteran larvae, maybe a Chrysopidae
