Default Eggs

Hello

Whilst spending a lot of time weeding I have discovered lots of round white eggs in my soil, they squash easily between the fingers. Can anyone tell me what these will hatch into?

Cheers
Lisa

Slugs and snails would be my guess.

And not just in the soil! I'm finding slugs eggs everywhere there is a dark damp corner.
