Laurel sumac spotted at right side of this frame from an on-location shot from Seinfeld episode "The Trip (part 2)", at the 17:20 time mark. Second photo shows a second, rather out-of-focus closer image of the same species. Humans (Homo sapiens) in the photos were painted out of the photo, as they are not the focus of the observation.

Location found by comparing image with Google Street View, noting the easy-to-identify house on a hill toward the upper right-hand side of the frame. The date used here for the date of the observation is approximate. Online sources report the episode as having been filmed on the week of 20-24 July, 1992, so I am placing this at the beginning of that range (https://seinfeldism.com/s04e01-the-trip-part-1.php).

Another partial specimen of the mysterious egg cluster. This time I was able to get an image of the contents (image #3) hoping that might help the process of identification.
(Apologies for large image size but I wanted to retain as much detail as possible).
