Greetings from Virginia

Total noob to beetles here, but I've been raising Lepidoptera for several years.  I got 4 female and one male Dynastes tityus at my moth lights this summer and decided to have a go at breeding them. The male was quite enthusiastic.  He died a few days ago but the females are still doing fine.  I had them on a mix of potting soil and a gallon of flake soil that I bought.  Last night I decided to sort through the substrate and see if I could find any recognizeable eggs, desite not being able to find any pictures of what the eggs would look like.  Here's what I found - mostly yellow globes about 3mm in diameter, and a few much smaller white ones.  Plus about six grubs.  Photos attached.  Can anyone confirm that these are D. tityus eggs and grubs?  Any other comments also welcome.
