While eating lunch one day I noticed these tiny pearls hanging from the leaf of an orchid that I keep in the dining room window. Each was hung by a tiny thread and arranged down the leaf with such precision that it was hard to imagine that it was natural.
With a bit of research I discovered they are the eggs of an insect called the green lacewing, and it turns out that they are beneficial to the garden since they are predators that eat insect pests.
