Lacewings' eggs
Don't know what species. But these are some kind of lacewings' eggs. They seem to stick them everywhere, I've even found some stuck to my car.

Thanks for your quick reply. I'll be looking forward to them hatching.

Lacewing Eggs
Lacewings lay their eggs like this so that predators will not recognize them as food. They'll provide some voracious little critters for your garden that eat loads and loads of aphids. Very lovely creatures as adults. I believe these are Green Lacewing eggs in particular.

Wait for confirmation.

 
Lacewing eggs
Thanks for the information. Maybe this will give me the opportunity to photograph a lacewing.

 
Fantastic creatures for a photo
You get them in the right light, and either you have glittering wings or you can catch the gold 'star' in their eyes. They are a little jumpy though! The larvae can be caught resting, but if you handle them watch out for their little nip! Annoyed 'aphid lions' can cause a stinging bite. The adults are just gentle though.
