Insect eggs, possibly those of a moth

These were clustered on the underside of an ash tree leaf. They are about the size of a grain of pepper. I think they may be moth eggs and they look as if they have been vacated.

You must have been on hands and knees to find these.
Thanks for bringing this micro world into our homes. Never would have seen them if it weren't for you.
