This looks to be Moth eggs. There are over 160,000 species of Moths. There eggs are very small, and can lay between 40 to 1000 at a time. Moth's can destroy a garden as well as plants, fabrics, woven materials inside your home as well.

Normally moths or whiteflies will lay eggs like this. This is very common and there are so many different types of moths around the world. I do believe these are moth eggs because of the pattern and the way they have been laid. Moths can lay so many eggs at one time and when hatched the babies will immediately start to feed on the plants in your garden.

This many eggs and babies can littery destroy so many of your plants in no time at all. it is best to destroy the eggs before they hatch.

I agree it does look like moth eggs. I usually leave things alone when they are outside, but if it is around clothing, I would either move the peg or get rid of the eggs.
