Bark Louse Eggs? - Graphopsocus cruciatus
Seattle, King County, Washington, USA
November 5, 2006
Size: cluster about 2mm
I'm wondering if Bark Lice lay eggs that look like this. The webbing around them is just like the pattern of webbing in this photo (please read comments accompanying photo). I keep finding these interesting critters on the undersides of my Holly Trees.

They could also be from a small spider, but the eggs are kind of oblong...

Graphopsocus cruciatus eggs
Based on your great egg mass and Adult photo I would assume this is the eggs of Graphopsocus cruciatus; Family Stenopsocidae.

Behavior seen
I recently watched an adult covering the same kind of eggs as this with webbing. It was too dark to get a clear photo. The next day, (she?) was making a webbing section that she eventually settled into later in the day. I got photos, but may not be able to post because of (I think) corrupted image files.
I am extremely confident that these are "Webbing" bark louse eggs. Hopefully more opportunities to photograph an association with the adults and the eggs will arise in the future.
