Pomacea insularum
Snail eggs cluster attached to plants rising above the water's surface.
Lakeside. Freshwater. Not indigenous to the USA.
Looks like pink colored Styrofoam.
Thanks for the info. Yes, it does look like the island applesnail.
Looks like those are probably the egg masses of an invasive apple snail species (Pomacea insularum, the island applesnail). Here's a link with info about snail eggs and invasive snails in FL: http://entnemdept.ufl.edu/creatures/misc...
Snail eggs! Not sure of the species.
