I Am too Machi!!! I did post pictures to Bugguide and I was given the suggestion that maybe they are Mantisfly eggs and larvae

I didn't have any way to collect or care for them or I would have tried to raise a few to see what they became. I can only hope I find some clue as to what they become next.
I am so curious what these are as well. You might want to try submitting to bugguide.net. They are usually the best bet for the trickier arthropod IDs in North America.
So I'm challenged by the lacewing theory now, at least Green Lacewing. This shows a lifecycle where from egg to larvae there's a 5 day span. These little guys took over a month to hatch. Any more theories?
