Ampullariidae
This pink thing was on a water plant in a fresh water lake along the edge. I have not see this before or any others.
Several apple snail genera (Pomacea, Pila and Asolene/Pomella) deposit eggs above the waterline in calcareous clutches. This remarkable strategy of aquatic snails protects the eggs against predation by fish and other aquatic inhabitants. Another anti-predator adaptation in the apple snail genera Pomacea and Pila, is the tubular siphon, used to breathe air while submerged, reducing vulnerability to attacking birds. The apple snail's usual enemies are the birds Limpkin and Snail Kite.

Thank you JDP! We have a lot of apple snails here.
@JDP... I think you find it with Ampullariidae.
They look to be eggs of an apple snail from the family Ampullariidae.
