dichosalocura Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 I have been noticing over the years of living here that something is leaving tiny little black dots on my patio furniture, tables, and such. I have a terrace bathroom, I've been noticing it going up the mirror, on the toilet, even going up the walls. They are generally very small, flat little black dots, usually in a somewhat vertical line. They wipe off pretty easily, they are not droppings that I can tell. I thought perhaps they might hold eggs of some kind. Has anybody else noticed them? They can usually be found on things that are open up to the outside. I was just wondering what insect could be making them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomas Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 From your description it sounds like Gecko droppings...Next guess is Bat droppings..No more guesses for now.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giltner68 Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 Ha, you never owned a boat did you? - spiders. Up here I kept mine at a marina and "spider spots" were the norm for the day, sometimes they had to be bleached out of the gel coat. At my house in Riberas the spiders were prolific on the terraza despite my spraying etc. and yes, lots of spider spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ned small Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 How about just ordinary fly poop. This past year the flies have been more prolific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dichosalocura Posted March 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 I don't think it is poop, they look too well layed, the same distance apart as if they were eggs of some kind. There is no drippage like in gecko poo. They are perfectly round, tiny, FLAT, little black dots usually forming a line. Its weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimpychimp Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Maybe insect eggs like in one of these photos? I often see little flat black dots in orderly fashion on leaves in my garden. https://www.google.com.mx/search?q=insect+eggs+on+leaves&safe=off&client=firefox-b&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiVv53TqsPSAhUX2WMKHdeNBWYQsAQIGg&biw=1920&bih=916#imgrc=CYYMC0CzVlwSYM: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dichosalocura Posted March 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 No, thats not them, those are undeniaby eggs. My dots look like pin head shaped drops of black paint in a line. I'll try to see if my camera can take a close enough picture tomorrow. They are very tiny dots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
