This my raised lettuce bed. These tiny white dots are against the wall in 3 places. Any ideas?

It looks like a buttload of mealy bugs but those typically only live on the branches and leaves of plants. The photo isn’t really clear or close enough. It could also be a fungal growth or some kind of bug/animal waste?

I hope they’re not spider eggs

That would have to have been quite the spider get-together if ya know what I mean

This is how they lay eggs. Only way to know for sure is to disturb one of the corners.

I think they are some sort of eggs
