    Hi all,

    I found these things in spring on a bed at the back of the garden. I've just dug up some bulbs that I'd 'rested' in pots unti the leaves had died down, and the same types of eggs were IN the soil. I've posted this image::

    They're very small, about 2 - 3 mm across and sort of pearly. Very white. They were sort of in clumps, a bit like frog spawn, but didn't appear sticky when I agitated them. Can anyone identify them please?

    Man thanks

    Springy
