Thanks Gemma,

I think you're right, had a look thru the web and some slugs do lay clear eggs. Cant find any really close-up pics, but they certainally look about right....thanks, that one had me baffled :P

Anybody have any ideas on what these are ??

Found them this morning on Hankley Common, they were at the fringes of heather, on a bit of fragmenting plastic sheet (The army seem to dump all sorts of litter over the common - particularly heaps of old MRE packets today!).

My first thought was unfertilised Herp eggs, no idea what type, or howcome they got left reasonably exposed here - must have been 'laid' last night.

All thoughts greatly appreciated. 20p piece in photo for scale.
