Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Mount Shasta, CA, US (Google, OSM)

Description

Tiny larvae ( <.5 cm ) inside decayed wood, carrying brown orbs, occasionally depositing them. Is it a frass shield like in some Coleoptera larvae? Are they diptera larvae instead??

Bearing a striking resemblance to a slime mold.
