A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Tiny (as can be seen by the phone next to them!) oval-shaped egg casings, shiny like pearl. Possibly shield bug eggs.

Well thank you!
That's a great answer, S Frazier, as I did wonder about signs of wildlife. Will take a look at my other spottings when I get the chance and move any that need to be moved. Thanks very much for your help. :)
Hi Dangermouse! I am responding with a broader answer than perhaps you expected or applies, but for the benefit of the community. "Other" is commonly but perhaps understandably interpreted to mean "unknown" or it is used for something that isn't quite an animal but came from an animal, a "sign of wildlife". A sign of wildlife always belongs in the category of the organism that produced (or is pointed at by) the sign. So a snake skin belongs to reptiles, an elk track to mammals, a wasp nest to arthropods and so on. In general terms, the thing to remember is that "other" is concerned with categories. So if it's not (from) a bird, amphibian, fungus, or one of the other categories, then in belongs in "other".
Thanks. :) I have other spottings like this one - do they need to be moved as well?
Moved to the group: Arthropods :-)
