Little gold metallic eggs. Sorry, I don't know the plant they are on.
Maybe some type of assasin bug eggs?

This Year
Maybe this will be the year we get this egg-nymph group identified! These nymphs would be great candidates to sleeve.

Interesting that some of these egg groups are laid in a long, straight line, one egg wide, while others are laid in a seeming random pattern.

I'm starting to think
this egg shape is characteristic of Coreidae (see below for another example). Stink bug eggs (Pentatomidae) always seem to be barrel-shaped, too. Perhaps we can narrow the egg IDs down a step or two at a time.

Golden eggs
I think they may be Leaf-footed bugs, Euthochtha galeator.

We have "golden eggs" that look just like that on two different plants at the UW Arboretum in Madison, Wisconsin. We are watching to see what comes out.
