No idea what those eggs are but they are well rendered. The translucence looks great and so does the diagonal placement for the perch.

Excellent composition - you found the right angle to render the eggs well.

I looked on the web, and my best guess is they are stink bug eggs. If you go back to the plant for the hatch, you find stink bugs nymphs in groups, and the nymphs are black and red (adults are green).
