Hi all,
I sometimes get Drone Fly maggots as well, the species I get is Eristalis pertinax, although I expect they are all similar. Hover-fly eggs are white, so it isn't them. I still think they might be snail eggs, even in your buckets, partially because one aquatic snail (Lymnaea peregra, the "Wandering Pond-Snail" <http://www.naturespot.org.uk/species/wandering-pond-snail>) actually wanders around out of water in wet places. I've found their shells a long way from our pond.
cheers Darrel
