The Nursery Of Lacewing Insect

I noticed this row of tiny eggs at the end of a fine stalk along the main vein of a leaf. ( length of the egg is approx. 2mm long ).

 

Taken at the Melbourne International Flower and Gardens Show at Carlton Gardens.

 

I discovered on Google that these are Lacewing insect eggs...

 

Lacewing insect eggs will be attached by fine filaments to the surface of leaves.

 

These filaments are so delicate and hard to discern that the tiny, white eggs seem to be floating on the plant.

 

Leave these insect eggs alone to develop into fierce, ravenous forces for good in the landscape.
