Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Mervyn Mansell
Comment:   These are the stalked eggs of a species of Chrysopidae, possibly in the genus Chrysoperla. They are usually laid in loose batches, but occasionally grouped tightly together. The female uses secretions from abdominal glands to produce the long stalk and then an egg is deposited singly on the top extremity of each stalk.
