Found these eggs(?) on a leaf. I should have though to ID the plant but did not. Any help here?

Moved
Moved from Unidentified Eggs.
I still think Saturniidae is probable.

Moved
to join the other unidentified eggs for now.

One possibility
is leaf-footed bugs (Coreidae), but I couldn't say for sure without seeing more detail.

corroborating Charley's guess...
...is this picture

But...
Coreid eggs all seem to have a 'seam' on them, like this one:

...which has been identified as the same species as in the image you linked to, although I'm a little suspicious of that since this egg seems to be significantly pointier at both ends.

Images Added
I added some images. Hope they help.

They do help...
I would now say that they are not coreid eggs. Probably some kind of big moth, like a saturniid... I'm basing this on the apparent size, which seems to be substantially over 1 mm.
