Eggs

Eggs

Are these ladybug eggs?
I guess that the aphids are Oleander aphids and that they are going to get eaten.
Southeastern PA

not an ID, but I bet it's Harmonia axyridis
The eggs of the multicolored Asian lady beetle are pale orange, pointy-tipped, and spindle-shaped, just like these. Usually H. axyridis lays much larger egg masses - I've never seen one with under 15 eggs - but the shape is very distinctive and I bet that's what these are.

Not an ID, though, since I obviously haven't seen the eggs of every lady beetle species!

 
Thanks
Every bit helps. One of these days you are going to be sure and it will be great to have these sorted out.

Yes, they look like Ladybird
Yes, they look like Ladybird Beetle eggs. And the aphids to look like Oleander Aphid on Milkweed.
