Hundreds of dark grey insect eggs (<1mm) laid neatly on grass stems have appeared in patches on my lawn. I did not wish to assume they are pests without checking - but can't find definitive info. Seems early for crane flies. I do have a pond..........Any ideas?

They are not crane flies or daddy-long-legs as these lay eggs in soil.

Assuming these are indee insect eggs, they are probably some harmless midge or fly. The vast majority of insect species, with only a handful of exceptions are beneficial.
