Wildlife UK Forum - Discuss the UK countryside and wildlife

I have had these all over my front door for months now. They are less than a mm big and managed to capture one with my macro lens. There seems to be hundreds over my front door.


What are they?

No idea... do they appear to be moving?

Aliens?

Doubt it... no crop circles!

Reminds me of a Dan Dare story in one of my old Eagle Annuals - they bring these seeds/pods back from Mars or Venus or some such planet and in our atmosphere they produce giant starfish-like creatures that rapidly reproduced by shedding a limb.

Keep an eye on them and make sure you have some Martian/Venusian moss about (this was the only thing that would kill the starfish).

do you have any silver birch trees near by?
