Egg on vertical stalk
San Pedro River Valley, SE of San Manuel, Pinal County, Arizona, USA

Size: tiny
Can anyone tell me what kind of insect might be laying these single eggs, on top of a upward, vertical stiff thread. This was on an Ocotillo thorn, but I've seen similar on many different plants. Thank you for your help.

Chrysopidae have similar stalked eggs, but i'm no expert
our commonest chrysopids lay eggs serially rather than sigly

Chrysopidae, yes
I think it would be more correct so say that the most commonly noticed/photographed chrysopid eggs are in clusters rather than groups. I see single ones like this all the time, and more often than I find conspicuous clusters.
