To my eye, this appears to be a good fit for this scarce moth.

I found this egg after having soaked a sample of moss from a tree, in water. This is definitely a Paramacrobiotus egg. This particular egg was highly ornamented, with very densely distributed, and very pointy spines. This type of egg ornamentation is only found in the genus Paramacrobiotus.
As far as I know, this is the 1st observation of a Paramacrobiotus egg on iNaturalist.
Perhaps someone with a better knowledge of Tardigrades could ID this egg down to its exact species.

Kyle Johnson collected a specimen from Mackinac Co (MI) in a similar habitat on Sept. 18, 2018.
"sand dune ridges/wetland swales with scattered Larix-Pinus-Thuja-Picea-Betula woodland groves."
https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/2275095059
[Sept 9, 2021 edit: Kyle Johnson commented:
'sure looks like it to me. Agonopterix lythrella is similar size and pattern (and flies around the same time), but with a distinct dark reddish cast.
Wow, surprising that is new to Canada, given collection efforts on Manitoulin Island and other places. Shows how much we don't know! I've taken it in a few other northern Michigan locations as well, in addition to Mackinac. Co. Should be sought elsewhere in Ontario, esp. near the border with Michigan.
