Lacewing eggs. Don't worry, they are harmless and eat aphids.

Ya, those eggs creep me out, but I sure do like the beautiful 'lil predators they turn into.

As a kid, I used to sit by the porch light and just watch 'em...such pretty things.

They are pretty little creatures huh...I found about 100 more of the eggs today....

They kind of remind me of a mayfly in a way. Mayflies are harmless, but when there's a big hatch they can be annoying. I remember heading back home up I-75 after fishing with my Dad on Lake Erie a few years ago. It was sunny out and it looked like a rain cloud coming. I went through it and that rain cloud was all mayflies. I could hear them crunching under the tires, bouncing off my windshield and my windshield wiper fluid wasn't going to work that good. I had to pull off at a gas station and really clean off my window good!

Yeah, they sure are for a flyfisherman. Not when you're trying to drive through a cloud of them though Most of my flyfishing is just for gills, crappies, and bass though. The crappies only hit really in the spring though on flies. Grayling eh? Must be the Au Sable river. GOOD LUCK!!

hit the Ausable the last day or 2 up there for memories
