Could The Little White Spheres In My Window Be A Bug Infestation?

I just moved into a new apartment and noticed something strange about the window. There are a few hundred perfectly round little white balls inside the window. This window has two pieces of glass with a hollow space inside for insulation, the white balls are mostly lying on the bottom inside this hollow space but there are a handful stuck around the upper portion and edges of the window. Some seem shattered, there are pieces of them around. I would assume they’re made of styrofoam or some sort of candy or chalk, except that they’re inside the window and some of them seem attached by adhesive to the edges. What could these be? Are there any insect infestations with eggs like this?
Facts:
White
Small and perfectly spherical, roughly the size of an o in 10 point font.
Some are broken in pieces
Stuck to sides of window (not on actual glass)

  1. Aliens!!!!! run

  2. Possibly termites, spiders usually come from a singular egg sack. There’s a good possibility that they’re just remnants of the Styrofoam used in packaging your window before it was installed.
