Default Oddity!

Another email from Al, with a link. This looks right.

Green lacewing eggs

These are predator insects. Good things. They eat aphids, but maybe other
small plant sucking insects too.

Think he's nailed it?

Al replied as well. He thinks this was discussed on rgo and/or abpo in the
past, but he can't recall what it was.

What I find strangest about it is the perfect symmetry. Nature is
something else!

Diana sent me the photo, and I seem to recall seeing something similar
from a parasitic wasp of some sort....

Anyone know what this is? The photo appeared in yesterday's local
paper. I
tracked down the photographer and asked her to send it to me so I could
post
it here. She does not grow orchids, and someone told her the little
*balls
on strings* were spider eggs.
