I'm thinking apple snail because the eggs seem large. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomacea_hau...
I don't know exact species, but that might be somewhere to look.

Thank you KatKiloueka, you are right, I use to have an aquarium with fishes and a couple of snails, and the snails would deposit the eggs in a yelow sac of the same shape of the spotting

Frogs lay their eggs in the water, so it's probably some sort of insect eggs
