What could this be???

[Eric Muehlbauer]

Oxalis is everywhere. Its all over my yard, it pops up randomly in any of my orchid pots and houseplant pots...it turns up in any potted orchid I receive from a dealer.

Just a clarification..... In the post I wrote about having them inside with other orchids, I meant the paphs which had oxalis seeds on their leaves....cause the way I wrote it it could sound that I have oxalis with orchids, which is not true...

Eric, your words now leave me assured 100% that they are indeed oxalis seeds.... I'd never seen any and got worried in the beggining, but know everything is clarified...!!! Thank you all...

Wouldn't it be crashed easily if it were poop??? These are very hard...! But I will keep an eye just in case...!

time to hydrate, not sure if mild acid bath is needed for this seed.

....Don't think it is poop... I know dried caterpillar poop well since I analysed them in the past when I was working in laboratory. We dried them before analysis. OK, it was Spruce budworm poop, but it is a caterpillar..

It looks too hard and too shiny.
