Caterpillar perhaps, covered in foamy eggs ??

Caterpillar perhaps, covered in foamy eggs ??
Jesup, Wayne County, Georgia, USA
September 25, 2010
Size: 1/2 inch or less
At first I thought it was a tiny white caterpillar, but looking at the photo I see it is really a mass of eggs in foam. Was it at one time a caterpillar that got attacked by a parasite ??

Pretty sure the eggs belong to an Acridid
Possibly wrong, but I can't think of a likely alternative. In most species these would have been laid in a cylindrical hole drilled by the female's abdomen in the ground, old wood, or whatever. The froth is deposited with the eggs and dries to glue the eggs in a tight mass, and also forms a plug filling in the tube above the eggs to protect them. The froth dries rather hard and turns somewhat darker yellowish or brownish in color, not unlike the material that, for instance, a Praying Mantis egg case is made of.

Moved from Grasshoppers, Crickets, Katydids.

I agree, that's what they look like
However, I'm not familiar with any non-tropical species that lay their eggs in this manner under normal circumstance. They would be very vulnerable to weather and predation this way. Of course, this may be something entirely different too.

Moved
Moved from ID Request. I'm hoping David Ferguson will see this here and will have something to add.

They seem to be grasshopper eggs...
which are typically elongate and surrounded by a frothy secretion like this, but normally would be deposited in the ground (or hidden in some similar substrate, like rotten wood or manure). How they ended up in a plant is mysterious, but it must have been an accident.
