Stinkbug, probably Brochymena quadripustulata

Barry noticed this stink bug on the oak tree which was so busy with insects. He said it looked like it deposited something on the leaf, and it certainly looks like an egg. Usually, stinkbugs lay eggs in a cluster, so perhaps this was some frass (insect droppings!). I don't know enough about stinkbugs to say whether some species lay eggs singly.
