I've tried Googling and looking through this forum a bit but I'm still not finding answers...
I found this larva underneath a glob of foam or bubbles underneath one of the leaves of my strawberries. I scooped it off with a dead avocado leaf and photographed it. You can see a bit of the original foam nearby.
What will this grow up to be? Beneficial or not? It kinda looks like it could grow up to be a lacewing, but I'm unsure.
CLOSED: Foam "nest" or "cocoon"?

People disagree on whether nymph stages of insects are larvae... if I had to guess I'd say it might be a Spittlebug or Leafhopper nymph. It looks like a tiny Cicada nymph, they're all broadly related.
