There were tiger moth caterpillars on the plant as well. I think they were Virginian Tiger Moth caterpillars.

I already know the eggs resemble Large Yellow Underwing eggs, but what do Virginian Tiger Moth eggs look like? - Answered my own question they are pretty fuzzy.. see these images.

As far as I know...
all tiger moth eggs are smooth and spherical, and they seem to be typically less densely packed. I think it's safe to call these Noctuidae.
