Moth laying eggs

I came across this medium size moth laying eggs on a plant stem, in Larose Forest, by a small wetland. I don't know which species of moth as I didn't get much of a look at colour and pattern, etc. You can see the line of fresh white eggs where the abdomen is pressed against the stem.
