Tiny tiny eggs

Please help identify these tiny white eggs.  They are smaller than snail eggs I've seen before.  I found them in the saucer under a plant outdoors, a few days ago.

    That looks like slow release food  :)

    They're a lot smaller, and I haven't used any.

    It's often present in compost though.  :)

    Ant eggs ?

    Ant eggs are oval, could be slugs about to hatch.

    Are they hard or soft and squidgy?  What happens if you squash them ...

    They're hard, which makes me think if they are eggs, they are no longer viable.  I've seen slug eggs in soil/compost before but never in the saucer under the plant.
