If you can't see them with the naked eye, how did you get the photos, which are great by the way.

Fantastic! These are wasps that are egg parasites. Among the smallest of insects. That explains the fact that the exit holes on the eggs are chewed open.
There are various families of wasps that parasitize eggs, but this looks to be the group called 'fairyflies' (Mymaridae). The tiny feathered wings are all that tiny insects need to fly. This is very cool!
