Bug or seed?

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?

RE: Bug or seed?

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).
