Predatory Stinkbug eggs (Pentatomidae.) on Manitoba maple

These may be the eggs of a Podisus species of stinkbug, as I believe their eggs have a ragged fringe as here. But I don't know for sure. There were several clusters of these egg masses, along with the more usually encountered stinkbug egg masses, and lots of box elder bug eggs, all on a manitoba maple. The egg mass was about 2 or 3 mm in size.

All these egg sacs look so fascinating when shot through your macro lens. These look almost like little flower buds. V.

Good eyes to find these, Christine! Are they on the underside of the leaf?
