i'm pretty sure they're eggs of a snail. i'm not an expert, but the eggs of the apple snail seem like the one in your picture.

Hi. Here is a link to some picture I took of the egg casing off of the leaf. The casing is ribbed and is no bigger than the tip of a pencil. The egg casing was attached to the underside rib of the oak leaf. This is just a curiosity on my part but I would like to know what is going on out there in the insect world in the garden. I appreciate all of y'all's time and effort in getting this identified! Here is a link that might be useful: Egg Casing

I live in on old farm land outside of Chicago. The bug was a greyish-beige and about 1 inch long. I tried to take a picture but she was laying eggs during the night, so none of the pictures came out. It was the first time I've ever even seen what kind of bug it was laying the eggs. I'll keep an eye out...if I ever see one during the day, I'll post a picture.

I'm not an expert either, not even CLOSE...but according to the google page you linked, these are more close to what is called Mystery Snail, which are actual species. Closely related to the Apple Snail.....good call for sure.
