Unknown Eggs…
Hi,
Just like to ask if anyone can provide me with the information on what egg are these? Thank you very much.
With regards

Hi Adrian,
Stalked eggs are typical of Lacewings. The larvae are so ferocious and hungry, that the first to hatch would devour its siblings, so the stalk is a way to ensure a higher birth rate. The newly hatched larvae have to climb down the stalks, and the theory is they will wander away while siblings are climbing down.
