Around here those eggs would most likely be whats known as a lace-wing. Its a beneficial insect thats very light green colored that has large lacey wings for its size. They lay the eggs and the larvae feed on aphids mostly. Do you have aphids? If you catch the lacewing in your hands....smell it...if it smells "funky" thats what it is.....BENEFICIAL INSECT.......but usually a sign that there's an ample food source on your plants you probably don't want.

Yes, we have lace wings here, thanks LI. I was thinking swallow tails for a bit? Cool little eggs. I don't sniff bugs anymore, the stink bugs stopped that. Thanks!
