Thanks for the suggestions!
MrsPbio- Very similar to lacewing, except the head on this one... It almost acts as a snail or turtle. It pulled its head in if you got near it. No pincers either. I do think it may be some sort of larvae as well. They were everywhere. I hope I figure this out! :) Thanks for helping!

It does look like a lacewing larva, but the head/mandibles don't look quite right? I'm sure there are species of lacewing with smaller mandibles than what I'm used to seeing though...

I'm leaning somewhat towards a Lacewing larva..... google it and see what you think....

I have no idea what this is, but could it be some kind of beetle larva?
