Hope someone knows what is going on here? I found this on or growing out of a cucumber leaf. Is it a fungus? An insect egg? It's about 7mm long & I didn't notice the weird braided stem or the dead ant nearby until I looked at the image at 100%.
Thanks!

This looks like a piece of conifer foliage that fell from above/nearby and pierced the leaf. It is nothing to worry about.
