Stinkbug eggs and nymphs (Pentatomidae)

Found on the underside of a Chokecherry leaf at the Fletcher Wildlife Garden. The little black critters are the newly emerged first instar nymphs of a stinkbug. The eggs are lovely (I think). They are like little pots whose tops pop off as the insects emerge. Some stinkbug eggs are like little silver jewel boxes.

The whole mass was probably less than 3mm across.
