Hi, I noticed a bunch of eggs on the leaves of a seeding silver beet plant. Does anyone know what this is?

I'm going to have a guess that they are some sort variety of cabbage moth egg.

Looking at the eggs I'd say some type of stink bug or Harlequin bug.

I am in the process of re-building my system now, but have seen stink bugs in the greenhouse.
Should I be worried? Are they harmful to the plants if they return?
