At last a Lonchaeid! as Paul has already said this is a female Lonchaeid sp, but sorry to ruin the Easter theme I don't think that these are her eggs! Lonchaea eggs are white and sausage shaped. Lonchaeid females are not easy to ID from photos but judging by the all black tarsomeres, pale squamal fringe and darkened wings I would guess at Setisquamalonchaea fumosa a common species over much of central and western Europe
