Tryphoninae (Ichneumonidae) are know to anchor stakked eggs on sawflies larvae, often behind the head. So maybe are these eggs of Tryphoninae?
One of the eggs (the one with black apex) seems to be "glued" on the cephalic capsule, which seems strange. But the other one looks quite typical I think (but I'm not a specialist at all).
Nice pic!
