I was not able to locate an image of an emerging nymph, but the remains in the hatched eggs looks familiar. Here is a link to hatching stink bugs from Bugguide http://www.whatsthatbug.com/2010/07/23/n...

Photos added of the emerging nymphs - Not sure if that is mom at the top keeping a watchful eye or an unrelated species after a tasty snack!

Definitely moth eggs in my opinion. While butterfly eggs are laid as a whole, sometimes moth eggs are not.

Here is what mine looked like as they hatched. They do not disperse right away, which is helpful for getting a photo. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/111...

Stink bugs lay eggs like these in this kink of pattern. Keep an eye and see who comes out.
