these little eggs are just that...tiny. the actual egg can't measure more than 1 or 2mm and they are connected to the plant by a little string. they were laid on a dead banana trunk leaf.

Yep, this are Chrysopidae characteristic eggs. I have seen adults laying the eggs, very interesting shape.
Gracias Juan!!! Que pasas bien en esta anio nuevo!!!
Lacewing eggs! They're in the order Neuroptera. The only lacewings I've had much contact with have been those in the family Chrysopidae, but I'm hesitant to say these eggs are from lacewings in that family. Here's a great video from the BBC series "Life in the Undergrowth," showing a green lacewing laying her eggs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zECnVZyY....
