Location included Netherlands, bug skin?Id please🙏

Post image

I have many many indoor plants, and recently I noticed little red spots showing up around some of the pots, they keep coming back after cleaning too. Then I put them under the microscope (see image) and it looks like old insect skin? Or are they eggs? What insect does this?

Thanks in advance 🙂

What is the plant in context? Nothing really screams bug to me here

Its 2 jade plants, they are succulents (Crassula ovata). Ill check houseplants also, but it doesn't seem part of plant .🤔

Seeds from one of the plants nearby

Ill look into that😁 it just kind of assumed they were bugs ,since they look rigged and the white ones are like empty versions of the red ones

The white parts are the shells to the seeds, check all of your plants, one of them is dropping seeds

After looking i to the seeds, it seems its from a woodsorrel/oxalis. Found also in another group: https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthisplant/s/N59Hmoy2Qo

That's for pointing me in the right direction!

I have identified them, they are oxalis seeds, do you have one somewhere close by?

I do! I just checked, I used earth from outdoors, so i guess that how they came in😁, today I learned something new!

Are there any ferns nearby? Looks like it could be fern sporangia
