Eggs- find out what kind before you damage them. They may be beneficials.

Pretty sure they are tent caterpillar eggs.
I had seen this post from @scottfsmith but was not 100% sure they’re the same. Perhaps they ARE tent caterpillar eggs.

Oh gosh. Yes, just checked. That’s what they are. I agree with Scott, “search and destroy” mission is in order!
