Cantharidae sp.
1 cm long larva snacking on unidentified eggs
Semi rural
Cantharidae. I am pretty sure it is not a caterpillar but a Soldier Beetle Larva. Unfortunately there is obviously no chance to get an ID. Maybe you try to go back to the tree to get a look of some adults around there, check the host plant (maybe the caterpillar (?) eggs are just a dessert...).
