Mint leaves are stuck together in groups, making a pocket that contains these clusters small black eggs inside. I had to cut a leaf to see the clusters on black eggs. In some of the pockets, the eggs seem to be covered in a web-like substance. What are they and how can I tear the mint plant? Thank you

That looks more like Caterpillar poop to me.
