After witnessing the fantastic results of Meg's pruning the other day, we thought we would scope out any other trees that need some lopper love. On our journey we spied a mass of eggs left by some kind of insect mathematician. They're cool looking, but if it's bad I want to squish it. Chances are it's a pest (that's just the way this place works), but if it so happens to be a pest eater, well then I think we may want to let it live (I'm convinced that God is a gardener).
If any of you know what in the blazes these damn things might be, before they hatch, please send us a shout.

Cool but yeah, what twinville said. Anyway, I'd send the photo off via e-mail to the bug expert at your cooperative extension office, along with the details on where you found it, etc.

My first thought when I saw it was that it was a nest...it could be yellow jackets or wasps...but when you said that it is a mass of eggs, clueless...
I hit a bug ID site that I love and found that your eggs need to be destroyed right away-
