what is red is macro part of Echinacea purpurea flower. The white stuff is what is here in question. At first I thought that it is part of flower, but then I noticed that only one appear on each flower i.e. there is only one in 'red army' on image, cant be two. And looking closer I fount white stuff on some other plant on its leave.

So it mus be attached by some insect. White 'bulb', like < 0,5 - 1 mm

Does Chrysopa have such short stalks, too?

I think the following article on the stalked eggs of Chrysopidae will be informative. The address is
