Spotting

Description:

I have no idea what these are, but they appear to be plant- like... I can't tell if they're just attached to the leaf or on top of it though. They look almost like crimson fruit loops but the hole in the middle isn't complete. Could be a strange kind of berry, a seed, a plant disease, or some kind of animal dung...

Habitat:

High desert, Central Mexico
