What are these little things?

Hi, all! have a beautiful aloe and I found some little things attached to the leaves. Anyone know what these are? Thin lines with little balls at the tip, in a strait row. I see it in another succulent I have near by as well. Thanks for the help!
Oooh, Exciting!! These are lacewing eggs!! They are an EXCELLENT beneficial insect, and the larvae stage have voracious appetites for pests. Lucky you!! Iโ€™m going to leave you a couple pictures of them as larvae, because they can be quite scary if you didnโ€™t know what they looked like ๐Ÿ˜… and a picture of the adult, which I think are so very beautiful. ๐Ÿคฉ
@DreamMachine thank you! We were in a panic thinking it was some pest. Good to know itโ€™s a beneficial buggy. Much appreciated โœจ
@StrongHeather37 my pleasure! Hopefully I answered in time ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ ๐Ÿคž ๐Ÿคž
Theyโ€™re still there and Iโ€™m actually excited to see them hatch lol
