I found this hornet in the tree. When I saw the photo's on the computer I noticed it was feeding on eggs. Can anyone tell me what kind of eggs these are?

I saw this behavior of Vespa crabro, on layings or even of the adults of Homoptera Tingidae on pear tree under bark, it sucks the sweetened matters (miellat). ? It disputes with the ants besides for the meal.

They truly just eat about anything don't they.
I've seen them flying into spider webs and knocking the prey out of it. After that, they just eat it, leaving the spider hungry.

In my garden, they take the spider Araneus diadematus and transports it. ;)

Tingidae are not Homoptera, but Heteroptera.
