Stinkbug eggs (Pentatomid sp.)

These eggs were clustered for the length of one cm, along a flower stem on a nannyberry shrub. As you can imagine, each egg is minute. Earlier I posted a shot of stinkbug eggs with nymphs. They were of a different type than these ones. I have seen these before and find them quite beautiful, looking like tiny silver boxes decorated with a fringe. If you look closely, you can see that some of the eggs are already open and there are nymphs inside.
