Yup, lacewing eggs. They are laid on "stalks" to fool their most common predators - ants. The ants will walk right on by these eggs, completely ignoring them floating above (or below) their heads. Check out this incredible video from BBC's Life in the Undergrowth: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zECnVZyYDI
