We kept noticing pink egg clusters just above waterline attached to the cattail reeds. At first I thought they may be dragonfly eggs, but as I've searched it looks like they are Apple Snail egg clutches. Are they considered a pest here? Please let me know so I can tell our other Desert Paddlers if we need to be treating it the same as the mussels.
