golden eggs

Hello, everyone! I am new to this forum. I'm a college student working a summer job as a conservation aide, and I found these eggs at work on the back of a leaf of Queen Anne's Lace that we had pulled. The eggs are about 1.5 mm in diameter. I've never seen anything like them. I showed them to my supervisors, and they were stumped as well.

The eggs shine in the sunlight like they are made of gold. I can't find any info online...can anyone help, please?

Thanks!

Sounds like lacewing eggs to me.

Done--thanks for the help!

I didn't even click on "ID Request" when I first submitted the photo, because I figured it had something to do with my user ID rather than actual insect identification. :)
