Who are these guys and what are they doing in my garden?

Check photo below, got brown bugs on white eggs. Are they both bad? Any of them good? Moving the leaf around to take a picture, I don't think anything moved at all. the brown guys are pretty still. Or should I say happy where they are..

CLa...that looks like young stinkbug creatures...but i caint say for sure. If they are still around, u might try pickin that leaf, and puttin it in a jar w/some screen over the top of it, an givin em a few stalky plants to live in...long enough to see em grow up an find out what they are. Not all stinkbugs are harmful...i discovered the Species Stiretrus Anchorago, which is a Predatory stinkbug, in my garden 2 years ago...and it co-incided with the beginning of curing a Mexican bean beetle problem, here...not to mention...the Beauty of the bug itself.

ah well, I flushed the leaf down the toilet after taking the picture hehe. Maybe I'll catch some more.

I thought stink bug and leaf-footed bug eggs were blackish-brown, square, and laid in straight rows?

I think they're Japanese Beetles.
