Look like ladybugs to me. Ants love to farm aphids on nasturiums, and ladybugs will lay their eggs on plants where they have found food (aphids), so you should leave them. The ladybug larvae eat as many aphids as the adults.

I'd leave them to see what they do but they look a lot like Cabbage moth eggs, Pieris rapae>>link Which can chew your plants to shreds.
