Description
This is the time of year when they lay masses of these.
It is such a shame that molluscs do so much damage in my sort of garden, which means that in the spring in particular I have to wage a constant war!

Beautiful little pearls; given the number of snails in my garden I'm surprised I haven't found any of these!

There's no getting around them up here. Our climate is perfect for snails and slugs! I've never seen their eggs, though. So interesting!

I'm with the rest in that I have never seen these before. A superb image but now I will have to throw out my pearl onions.

Great detailed shot....yes snails and slugs can be pests... on a dry night with a torch and bucket I often caught the offenders of specific flowers be them snails or earwigs which do more damage to flowers than some may think.... they can strip small plants, quite common with those who use weed retardant measures like ground sheets with stones on the top.

With the amount of moisture we've had, and the sheer number of snails and slugs absolutely loving it, I'm surprised I haven't see the aftermath of amorous encounters of a gastropodial sort. Such a shame. I love these little egg-necklaces, especially when the light hits them just right, as it's doing here. It is a shame that they can't distinguish a garden from a salad, and perhaps they're the ones who gave us the term "garden salad". I wonder what species this is. I happen to like slugs/snails, but I can't really say that Chicago has such a huge variety of them. A few, yes...but unfortunately, I'm not in a region of the city that's gastropod friendly, despite the sheer number of abandoned lots that could surely use a snail-trim. This is gorgeous. Those eggs are such a pretty color.

An excellent macro my friend - I would be crushing they every day!

Very wonderful shot.

Cool and yet disturbing capture I agree that it is total war against them if you wish to have a nice garden
