Thanks harsuame and martin. They do seem to be linked together the same way. These could be some type of shield bug egg.

These do look like hemipteran bugs (stink bugs or assassin bugs). They often lay eggs in rafts and sometimes have spikes that form a mesh like this. The spikes also can look like eyelashes in the spiked shield bugs http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/8765188
