Poblano growing sprouts???

I just saw this the other day and can't figure out what's happening. My Large Poblano plant has one small pod that seems to be growing little sprouts out the bottom of it.

I'm also a part time hand model. LoL

Congradulations! You are now the proud father of lacewings! Those, my friend, are lacewing eggs. Don't worry, they won't harm your plants. They put their eggs on long stands like that so the young don't eat each other when they hatch.
 
Yep, I say guitargod is right. They are harmless to your plants, and beneficial to your garden. Young'uns eat aphids.
