I noticed something strange in my garden: small white balls scattered on the ground. 😲At first, I thought someone had spilled something, but the closer I got, the stranger it seemed.
I bent down and saw that these weren’t just debris. The small balls were perfectly smooth, round, and shiny, like pearls. At first I thought they were plastic beads or pearls, but their arrangement in the soil seemed all too natural…I put on gloves and began carefully digging into the soil. The balls turned out to be soft and slightly elastic, almost like jelly. The sensation gave me chills. The thought crossed my mind that they might be eggs. But what? Birds? Insects?
I took my find home, held it up to the light, and began to examine it more closely. Some of the balls had small black dots visible. My curiosity got the better of me; I looked for information on the internet, and that’s when I figured out what it was…😲😲
It turned out to be snail caviar.🐌At first, I felt a nagging sensation. I remembered how quickly snails reproduce and their ability to destroy an entire garden in a single night.
In addition, some species, especially tropical ones, can carry parasites that are dangerous to humans. It is therefore important not to touch these eggs with bare hands or leave them in the soil.
I carefully collected all the eggs and doused them with boiling water to prevent an infestation. I then cleaned the area and inspected the rest of the garden.
