Was curious as to what these might grow up to be? The seem to be iridescent. Found them on a clothes pin.

Dear Heather,
We found a matching image on BugGuide to your golden eggs, and they are only identified to the family level of Coreidae, the Leaf Footed Bug family.
I too found golden eggs like those in the post. As they became closer to hatching they turned red and the nymphs that hatched look like leaf footed bugs that were red with black hairy spines on their bodies and long antennae, and now a week later they have turned completely black.
