Lacewing eggs on fennel

Bugsrus

I was just checking on the swallowtail eggs after last night's storm and i found these. Lacewing eggs I think. Not the best of shots, but they were very small (circa 0.3 mm) and blowing in the wind.

Yes, Ed, and recently laid too. They are green for the first 2-3 days then turn black prior to hatching.

C. carnea tends to lay single eggs.
