Nice!
Exact same thing happened to me when I collected eggs from a field plot... Although we had the little wasps inside a building with a colony of Podi*sus mac*uliventris... we froze these wasps pretty quickly, haha.

There's more information about them on this page:
Family Pentatomidae - Stink Bugs.

Look like they are most likely eggs from a phytophagous stink bug, one of the harmful ones.
