While testing out a new macro lens last week I found what I think are eggs of some sort and what looks like some type of grub attached to quite a few spiders. Was hoping someone might know what these are.

Good ones- 1st lot of eggs are shield bug eggs.

The external parasite on the spiders are probably Polysphincta tuberosa an Ichneumon wasp.
