Chrysopidae
I found this little creature walking in my moss garden under the oak trees. After an internet search, I'm thinking it's a lacewing larva who has disguised himself with lichen. I took some of the photos while he was in a glass cup so I could see his underside. The lichen looked soft and almost downy. The whole size of the blob was about 3/8" or 10mm.
