Hi,

has someone got an idea of whose eggs I have found? They stuck on the bark of a Pinus, which had been cut down a few weeks before. Unfortunately I don't know their size, because in 2012 I had no idea of what this could be at all...

Thank you!

Odd position, but they look like slug eggs to me.

Thanks Tony, that's an interesting hint, until now I didn't even know how slug eggs look like.

Initially slug and snail eggs are white- or cream-coloured, but as the embryos develop they become clear, and the young slugs or snails are visible inside.
