@Brian, hey! That's a pretty cool suggestion. I just found this article (https://webdoc.agsci.colostate.edu/hempinsects/PDFs/Red-shouldered%20Stink%20Bug%20with%20photos.pdf) and it looks a lot like the egg sacs I found here (https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/1908027431) what do you think?!

I leaning towards a Red-shouldered stink bug nymph (Thyanta custator). They usually have a little red on it but there are probably some variants. Cool spotting and hopefully others will confirm.
