Spotted these on my patio jade this morning. Hard to get a decent picture, but I think they are lacewing eggs.

Yes, the picture is a little fuzzy, but they could be lacewing eggs. Those threadlike stalks are distinctive. Are there aphids nearby? The ones in my garden are usually on the undersides of leaves or stems in a straight line or in a more even geometric pattern than yours, but maybe different lacewings have individual artistic styles. ?

Mine always appear where aphids are. But I'm no expert and Florida customs are always a mystery to me! Hilarious!

I think Lacewings eggs too. I haven't seen aphids and lacewings lately on my desert roses, maybe there is such a thing as too hot and humid for the aphids Hilarious! I was out this morning at my backporch that gets the morning sun and not even 9 am and I was dripping wet! It is like a sauna!

Phil! They do look like rose thorns! I hope they are friends and not foes!

Wow they do look
