I got my geek on :laugh:...the pic is small and couldn't zoom in, but the grouping and general appearance of the eggs looked like they belong to the Family Reduviidae (Assassin Bugs). Initially the small black and red ones looked like ants, but when I hit on the Assassin Bug eggs I realized that they were Wheel Bug nymphs and a quick Google search confirmed it.
