Sounds like lawn grub, particularly if you have a reddish wasp-like thingy flying around the grass.

You need to spray the grass to break the cycle.

Neighbour used to leave potato sacks out on the lawn over night. The morning that would turn the sack and go on a killing frenzy At least it was chemical free.

Moth eggs. If you rub them off the consist of hundreds of little beige eggs with a bit of furr on the top. In summer they often land on fly screens and you can watch the eggs oooze out of the moths bum.

They could be wasp nests. We've had loads of them around our front door.
