This?
Check this out. Perhaps the eggs of the Psocoptera you posted yesterday.

Agreed!
In all my research on eggs, the only insects I've read about that put a sheet of silk over their eggs are barklice and spongillaflies. The latter lay down the silk in a different pattern, and obviously there is strong circumstantial evidence for the former. (Also, as noted in the page Stephen linked to, spider eggs are spherical.)

Wow...
I didn't know these bugs could spin silk!

Silk
I've been amazed at how many different kinds of insects I'm learning are able to spin silk: beetles, flies, and even a leaf-rolling cricket!

Ok...
I thought for sure these were spider eggs! The Psocoptera was on the same leaf! I thought it had landed there by coincidence. Let me add an image with the bug and eggs together...
