I had to run back out to this Diachea leucopodia slime mold a few days later to see its iridescence once it matured. Worth it.

#1351 - Diachea leucopodia - White-footed Slime Mold
Photo by Carissa Gill, of the Sunshine Coast in QLD, who found these on the a strawberry leaf and wanted to know what kind of insect egg they were. An understandable mistake - slime mold fruiting bodies are weird little things.
Diachea leucopodia is found worldwide, and is a remarkable species under suitable magnification, as in this Japanese book of slime mold photography��
