Insect Eggs

Today I was in the woods behind my back yard searching for dead tree branches I could use to carve hunting bows out of. I found a cluster of insect eggs laid on a branch at the rotted end that was underneath the dead leaf mulch that covers the ground in the forest. I contemplated sawing off the section of the branch with the insect eggs to keep in a container until the eggs hatched for observation but decided to leave the section on there. After I finished searching, I carried the branches back home, laid them next to the back wall of the house on the mulch bed and took pictures of the insect eggs. I think they are stink beetle eggs.
