    "Eggs" on my clothes line?

    I keep finding these little groups of small spherical things on my clothes and clothes line. They appear to be eggs, but I can't be sure. It's disturbing, though, as I am worried about putting them on Clara via her blankets or clothes, or even in her mouth via a burp rag or something. I can't figure out what they are, though. They're a tannish color and really tiny. Like the size of a period at the end of a sentence, maybe a little bigger.

    The group is less than an inch long, in the cases I've seen. Wondering if anyone has any idea what they might be. I'm not leaving my clothes out for very long, either. Maybe an hour or two and I've seen the "eggs." They are sticky, and when I brush them off, some of them fall and others smear into the clothes, and seem to stain!

    Do you have any pecan trees? I know pecan trees drip a sticky substance. When walking through the park that's loaded with pecan trees, the ground is sticky from all the pecan trees dumping that sticky sap substance.

    Sounds like caterpillar poo. Is there a tree near by that is filled with Caterpillars?

    Gross I know, but some of the poop is dry (old) & some is squishy (fresh).

    Funny you should mention that. I washed windows yesterday and there were little brownish egg-like spots on the windows and I had to scrape them off. I'm wondering if it was from the maple trees in my yard. Probably. It isn't bad enough that those helicopter pods fall every spring. Either that or maybe we're being taken over by the pod people.
    Blessings,
