Ectopsocidae (Outer Barklice), spent eggs - Ectopsocus meridionalis
Ames - Tullamore, Story County, Iowa, USA
August 13, 2009
Size: .4 mm
July 31, 2009: this was found on a Cherry tree:

August 13, 2009: collected a leaf miner pupa from the same Cherry tree. While photographing the pupa figured might as well photograph everything on the leaf, hence these spent eggs and a nymph.
other eggs on a Cherry leaf, same tree:

But it wasn't until yesterday, 12/27/18 while looking for a series of insect photos, that I ran across these photos, searched BG and yes, the eggs could very well be connected to the nymph.

Nice series of photos E. meridionalis
If you are watching as the female finishes laying eggs you can observe the silking over process. See the video on my website.

Great website too.
