Get it? "Peas" = "Please"… ugh… nobody ever gets my jokes.
A friend of mine sent me this photo asking if I think the white things are the eggs of some sort of pest, or part of the plant. Unfortunately, I've never grown peas before (I still find them yucky, despite being a fully grown adult), so I'm kinda clueless on this one. I did a search and came up empty. My initial instinct is that they're the start of the pods, but she mentioned that the plant is flowering elsewhere, and understandable assumes that's where the pods come from.
Does anyone have any insight? I won't even take credit for the right answer(s) (but, I will gain knowledge from it!) I'm going to send her a link to this post so she can follow it.

These are lacewing eggs. They’re a highly beneficial predator insect.
lacewings. Garden friends not foes
Lacewing eggs. They’re predators of many harmful insects and are super beneficial in the garden. Leave the eggs in place!
Lucky you!
I had a lacewing a few weeks ago in my tunnel and I was hoping it would lay eggs. Unfortunately not though 😫
