Damselfly eggs are elongated oval shapes, as are the eggs of 'hawker' type dragonflies. These lay their eggs inside living or dead plant material, so you won't find the eggs if you look for them (but you might be able to find very small marks where the eggs have been inserted into plant stems if you look very closely.
Other dragonflies (darter & chaser types) have round eggs which they drop in to the surface of the water while flying low over in (you can usually see the females bobbing up and down). These swell up slightly when they hit the water and may then become attached to water plants.
