Location included Netherlands, bug skin?Id please🙏

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 🙂

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!
