I found these on a brugmansia. They are pretty symetrical. Some hang by a slender spider web type material. Any ideas?

The plant seems unaffected by them.

Another possibility is that these could be fungal spores, especially if there is wood chip/bark mulch in the immediate vicinity of these plants. See http://tinyurl.com/23573um for an image of artillery fungus spores on a plant leaf. These do not harm the plant.

There is wood chip mulch and since they don't harm the plant, they live on. Thanks.
