Do any of y'all know what these strange projections are along the edge of the leaves of this A. tuberosa/butterfly weed. They look like eggs to me, but they are not monarch eggs or milkweed bug eggs which I found images of online. I just found a few on my swamp milkweed as well.
What are these eggs (?) on my milkweed?

This forum is for questions relating to adding data to the BugFiles database.
We have a forum on Insect and Spider Identification here: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/f/bugid/all/
and if you post your question there, you may get some help,
If you have an image, you could attach it to the message you post for a better chance of getting an identification
Having said that, I can in fact help you with identifying those eggs. They are eggs of a Lacewing, almost certainly one of the Green Lacewings: http://davesgarden.com/guides/bf/adv_search.php?searcher[common]=&searcher[bugorder]=&searcher[family]=Chrysopidae&searcher[genus]=&searcher[species]=&Search=Search
Here is a picture of eggs of one of the Australian Green Lacewings: http://davesgarden.com/guides/bf/showimage/8702/

Thank you. I knew there was a bug ID forum and thought I had found it. Next time I'll post to the right place.
