Leaf mold full of eggs

[nwh]

Morning All

Just back from the garden and as I was compost bagging all the old leaves, (should have done it ages ago), when I noticed a lot of eggs.

Should I cut my losses and bin the the leaves?

Cheers yet again

I wouldn't, they are probably slugs or snails which will help to break down the leaves. When there is nothing left to eat they will move out.

What sort of eggs?

[nwh]

Some spheres, look like slug eggs. But also so rugby ball shaped ones.

[rustylady]

They won't do any harm in compost bags. I certainly wouldn't throw the leaves out.

My wife was puzzled when I came into the house and said "Im going to have to ask folk about this". Less than 20 mins later I get all these responses

Cheers yet again you lot!

Could the rugby shaped ones be ant eggs?
