I was Monarch egg/cat hunting today and came across this cluster off eggs on the underside of the milkweed. I have never seen anything like this on milkweed before. The eggs dont look quite like Monarch eggs and I have never seen Monarch eggs clustered like this. Any idea what kind of eggs these were>?

That looks like stinkbug eggs, possibly green stinkbug eggs.

Could they be bird mites?
