What the heck are these freaky eggs?

**coronabarb** · April 30, 2008

I was removing an untripped gopher trap (that's for another thread) when, in the middle of all the dirt I was digging out, came these eggs!!!

They are not hard like a bird egg...they are squishy like a water balloon, just over 1/2" big and pinkish. I popped one and it had yellow gushy stuff inside. Giant grubs?? Alien gopher pods??? No way do I want to hatch them to see (though, I admit, I am very curious) This was dirt that the gopher had stopped up the hole with, so they came from somewhere else.
