Sorry I can't post a picture right now but this is so bizaar looking I think someone will be able to ID.

OK I have some Fall leaf flushes on my grapefruit tree that are severely cortorted. As I was looking at this I noticed a leaf that wasn't contorted that had good color. I noticed that there was what appeared to be small white eggs that were sitting atop a thin thread that was about 1/8 inch tall. the egg looked to be about 1/16 inch tall on top of these threads. In all there were about fifteen of them and they were fairly evenly spaced about 1/4 inch apart in a loose oval.

Any ideas?

Could this be what you are seeing. Scroll down and check out the eggs.

Awesome Ned,

You nailed it. Green Lacewing

I'll be sure to put that leaf back near where I found it.

Thanks
