1 mm is big! So maybe a buterfly. I think dipterans do nat lay eggs on leaves, maybe only Syrphidae (which have aphid-eating larvae). Others may lay eggs in the tissue of leaves (those making mines) and the wast majority lay egs in soil, leaf litter, decaying material...

altitude : 50 m - taille : 1 mm

The eggs of C. marginatus were singly laid in cotton batting and were usually separated from each other. On the average, the elongated eggs were 1.72±0.01 mm long and 1.08±0.01 mm wide. The eggs were yellow upon deposition but changed to brown after embryonic development. Variable shaped polygons were observed on the egg surface. A ring of widely separated aero-micropylar tubercles was observed and well-marked operculum intersects the ring micropyles. The hatching line was cracked in a circular shape by an egg burster.
You might be reight, especialy as the thing lives here.
