Ohhhh! Lucky you! Those are eggs of Chrysopa rufilabris, the green lacewing. When they hatch, the larvae look like baby alligators, and are even more voracious, eating up to 200 insects per week, specializing in aphids, which is prolly why the larvae are often called aphid lions.

I prolly sound all knowledgeable & stuff, but it was Dori who first ID'd the eggs for me from a picture I posted several years ago, so she deserves the lions share of the credit - I only get credit for a memory that works. ;-)

WOW, thanks for responding to quickly Al. I guess this is a good thing and I should leave them be?

Mmhmm - undoubtedly. People actually BUY the eggs & release the larvae as natural predators.

Great, thanks again Al!
