Barry,

 

These are the eggs of Chrysoperla carnea,

Eggs stands on these 'legs' in order to protect them from being eaten by other small insects.

Wow, thanks so much. I'd never seen these before so it was a surprise. I welcome this insect addition (my garden is fairly pest free though. I haven't had an issue with scale or aphids in ages, and leaf eating insects are minimal).
