This appears to be a bug species in the pentatomidae family http://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_stinkbugs/Pentatomidae.htm

the egg case seems intact. Lady bug larvae eat the eggs up ,so nothing much remains.

Thanks Lori. These are pentatomidae. True bug eggs and hatchlings.

Great macro shots. I love when you can get series showing multiple stages of development. I was lucky enough to have these eggs laid on a sliding glass door, which meant I could see into the eggs. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/4956017
