Have not seen the eggs of this species before.
It's interesting that there is no silk covering over the eggs. Thanks for posting!

Thanks for mentioning the silk...
I just watched a video showing them under the silk. I had no idea.

I remember going out to take more pictures of the nymphs the next day and there was no sign of them. Perhaps they were hidden under their silk by then?

I just went out to look for silken covered areas on the tree but I didn't see anything more than damaged funnel spider webs. It has been a while so not really surprising. Next time I will know what to look for.
