Doomed Kukulcania hibernalis Egg Sac From 2016

Their mother died defending them from a parasitoid wasp.
It looks like a single hatchling, maybe a dermestid beetle larvae, and some EWLs? Is that right or are my eyes playing tricks on me?
 
@JoP Yes. The beetle larva is Anthrenus verbasci. Not sure what it's doing inside the sac except maybe preying on the developing slings.


The biggest sling survived and lives as a pet.
