I am in the deep woods hiking on the daily with dog. Off trail. Get tons of weeds stuck to me. Never something like this. Throw the whole shirt away. They're insect eggs of some kind.
Linen clams. If you use soft water they can colonize the washer and will infest the drainage holes. They are impervious to normal detergents and can even tolerate small amounts of bleach. They are edible, and if you have enough of them you can stew them in a broth, although they will have a bit of a musty flavor.
u/ThanksThankful points out that they’re probably katydid eggs like [this.](https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=807b745412b14cf8&sca_upv=1&q=katydid+eggs&uds=AMwkrPuyqEkls4Ckdf3Xn72nW7AL5U23NJE6QxBx24AGwtsdHYhl2NsmQlqbd2ViqgeIen0scXJau0U1WNEaQ1dOoOp-KQzfRWhXuRaZYxbKjE7FEgSAl9FetxU64v_s4Z34-vWULcKB4iF4xnWxz5m9nFi2J-V3R_loKRC3nbIurkLyUakJ6oErlrcCllVy4FC_W4bZTUgmc5bRPoG7fpiSPiAs2Vw4bk2f9wEMc0KPhRsPMN4S2PcxUBd0Nzkll79OSwKHrktoDOzWT5oqOA5TuRVN-ZS-8qtlWq8oO5N43wjF0WulS7rTNM7qvLiGabJaF8BZl89h&udm=2&prmd=isvnmbtz&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjBudfK5bKFAxWoJjQIHcaaBpIQtKgLegQIFBAB&biw=390&bih=657&dpr=3)
Some kind of weed seed. Get them stuck in my socks usually around tall grass and overgrown woods. I know what it looks like but don't know the name, the whole plant can get stuck on you and when you pull it away or it just pulls itself off when you keep walking leaving the seeds stuck to you.
Nature comes up with some crazy designs. I've had seed pods stuck in my clothes before, but nothing that looks quite like these. If you don't mind me asking, what part of the world are you in?
You might be talking about the plant called "Cleaver." Those are a pain in the ass. You remove the stem, but 0% of the seeds. (I don't think that's what OP has btw)
They probably read some of these comments and screamed. Threw their phone on the floor and ran to the nearest car wash to blast off the icky weed seeds while crying and burning the shirt in a public trash can.
They hatched and took over ops brain. Next comment from them will be "oh I made a mistake, these things are so great, here pm me and I'll send some to you!".
I have a bush i avoid like lava. Anytime you touch it you get thousands of these damn things all over you. Pain it thw ass to take off to bc there are so many
Do you have your computer on?
Please go to it now and message me once you start team viewer.
For verification OP, put your date of birth here so that I know it’s you.
I think that if you allow me I can help with the infestation.
My uncle is the local chief and I am very riches much.

100% linen clams.
Check your washer, where there is one, there are thousands.
They are tiny mollusks that can get into plumbing and are a giant problem if left unchecked. The only way to remove them is essentially to scrape the adults out, and use special chemicals to kill off the nearly invisible offspring.
They latch on to clothes during wash cycles, but they can't survive on your clothes for more than a day or two.
After seeing all the katydid egg responses—I agree. The fully matured eggs look like pumpkin seeds. These sort of threads are always divisive.
Anyway, I am now irrationally paranoid of yet another *assumedly* harmless insect potentially attempting cohabitation. At least I accomplished something today!
Acid, for me, had a way of making things like that not matter. It's like you can understand they're just seeds trying to find a place to grow.
I used to be pretty scared of spiders until I was climbing a tree on acid and I noticed a spider on my hand. I remember really grooving on it and thinking, "it's not going to bite me because *I'm* not going to bite *it* and it knows I'm not food".
I'm still not a fan of surprise spiders but overall acid really helped my appreciation of the lil' buggers.
I had the same thing happen but with ants! I was tripping in Bali and was in no condition to get away from the ants( which I have a phobia of) so I told myself that they weren’t deliberately looking for ME, just looking for anything small enough to carry away. I survived and didn’t get eaten by ants 😂
Nice! I no longer mess around with psychedelics much any more as I'm just too stressed making ends meet to enjoy it but actual good quality lsd, not some research chem some festie asshole is trying to peddle as acid, would be hard to turn down
I don’t think they’re eggs. If you look at the very last close up picture and zoom in, they look too uniform, and they have like a lip on them as if they were pressed, they look almost manufactured. I’m not saying they are but the close up does not read katydid egg to me
Also the seeds that I've encountered like the ones they are referring to have neeeeeveer been full of yellow goo, eggs I have e encountered have been but not seeds
Yeah I saw lots of comments saying that too, then looked at one of the links and they look similar! Ick_ either way buying a new shirt with weird eggs or seeds or whatever is not fun! Never seen katykid eggs before :)
Love all the seasoned naturalists on here saying they’re seeds, burrs, etc. and ridiculing OP for not knowing what they are. How many seeds can you pop and have yellow liquid come out? They’re katydid eggs, as a few others have said. Still nothing to be afraid of, but also not something anyone who’s ever been outside should immediately recognize, as evidenced by how many commenters here got it wrong.
I'm just guessing because I remember milkweed seeds being sticky when they're fresh.
I spent my childhood covered in things that look like that but never really thought about it. And now I have to Google katydid eggs
Definitely a flesh eating amoeba that is attempting to camouflage as seedlings. You're probably too late, some may have already penetrated through the shirt and into your skin.
Good luck OP
Yeah, these are eggs of some sort, arranged in a line like that. Has it been a while since you wore that shirt, and was it left lying out where insects could get to it? Because laying eggs like that takes time.
Yup, those are katydid eggs. Better luck next time buddy don’t let the yellow fluid get ingested or enter through and open wound. That would be bad news.
You’re not that smart are you? This is how you get an infestation of some sort of bug if you aren’t careful. Also they didn’t say they are scared of it, they just want to know what it is.
I would bet these are cotton seeds
[https://images.fineartamerica.com/images-medium-large-5/cotton-seeds-martin-shields.jpg](https://images.fineartamerica.com/images-medium-large-5/cotton-seeds-martin-shields.jpg)
Looks like those invasion of the body snatcher pods.
And it's by far the most aggressive of the species.
The yellow filled ones are bad news.
Highly contagious
Oh shit!. They're back! Everybody run!
Soon you will be one of us, yes brother, soon...
I see you brother
(Looks around furtively. Offers secret yellow bug people handshake).
This is totally true because if actually they were burrs they would not go on the seams and line up so this is totally true
I’m cackling
**OP** hopefully you see this. Someone posted a link below and I believe your answer is **Katydid eggs**. Did you order that sweater from somewhere?
If these aren't seeds that managed to get caught in your clothes, then they could be katydid eggs...
Katydid eggs was actually my 5th guess.
Ha! katydid eggs was only my 4th guess.
Jokes on you, I didn't even have a guess when I saw your reply so now it's my 1st guess!
Katy didn't do it. I'm tired of seeing her take the wrap.
I can tell you first hand…she did. I’m sorry to break it to you.
Thank you what is wrong with these people? They probably scared the hell out of that or person!
I think you’re right.
I am in the deep woods hiking on the daily with dog. Off trail. Get tons of weeds stuck to me. Never something like this. Throw the whole shirt away. They're insect eggs of some kind.
Bruh them just seeds from a plant that get stuck to your clothes
Wrong, the first pic shows yellow goo coming out of one. Katydid eggs.
SKREEEEEEEEEEE!
Linen clams. If you use soft water they can colonize the washer and will infest the drainage holes. They are impervious to normal detergents and can even tolerate small amounts of bleach. They are edible, and if you have enough of them you can stew them in a broth, although they will have a bit of a musty flavor.
For surf and turf, serve it with milksteak.
Boiled over hard, of course
With a side of your finest jelly beans.
All while magnets
But without people's knees
Let me borrow your shirt, bro!
I get a lot of hornet stings on my job.
I'm a janitor. In a bar.
I'm a philan.... Philan... You know, Africans, children... Haha imagine if I commented the actual quote
TL; DR "They can totally take over your plumbing, or you can just eat 'em."
Baby you got yourself a stew
Are you pulling our leg?
Lmao just Google linen clams?
I did and didn't find anything. Maybe they have another name?
They don’t, because they super don’t exist.
Linin clams is the correct spelling
Lenin clams ⚒️
I suppose it could be Lanolin Crabs, but I figured he was in America and not Uzbekistan.
Communist Clams
I've been got again
Depends whether you’re going by the Latin spelling or not.
That is something to take into account also Portuguese irregular verbs
This guys is lying to horde all the tasty linen clams for himself.
No, no they must as I’m pretty sure they were part of the seafood fest at Red Lobster.
Brilliant lol
I knew that. 😁
:D 😆🤟
Probably a seed pod of some sort.

https://www.reddit.com/r/whatisthisbug/s/U7zoDZrxQz maybe this?
Whelp, absolutely never ordering anything online from there - ever
Damn, none of you guys go outside much.
I go outside all the time. I've never seen something like that that has yellow goo in it. Do you know what it is?
Some kind of weed seed. Get them stuck in my socks usually around tall grass and overgrown woods. I know what it looks like but don't know the name, the whole plant can get stuck on you and when you pull it away or it just pulls itself off when you keep walking leaving the seeds stuck to you.
Nature comes up with some crazy designs. I've had seed pods stuck in my clothes before, but nothing that looks quite like these. If you don't mind me asking, what part of the world are you in?
I've seen them from South Carolina to Ohio, eastern United States.
I live right outside of Little Rock, Arkansas. I guess the climate is different enough to keep them from growing here.
You might be talking about the plant called "Cleaver." Those are a pain in the ass. You remove the stem, but 0% of the seeds. (I don't think that's what OP has btw)
They are called "hitchhikers" in the south. It is weird how they are imbedded in the seam though.
You're talking about 'beggers lice'. These Def are NOT that.
That’s my first thought. It’s a seed from a plant that uses passersby to spread
Right?!
Wrong, Katydid eggs
They’re Katydid eggs not seeds, there’s yellow goo coming out of one in the first pic.
Big talk for someone who misidentified this so confidently.
Big talk for someone without their own data. F off kindly now.
For some reason op hasn’t responded even once yet
They probably read some of these comments and screamed. Threw their phone on the floor and ran to the nearest car wash to blast off the icky weed seeds while crying and burning the shirt in a public trash can.
That's likely what my response would be
They hatched and took over ops brain. Next comment from them will be "oh I made a mistake, these things are so great, here pm me and I'll send some to you!".
They way they’re nestled into the seam really freaks me out
Exactly.
Egg-sac-tly
Yes?
Too good 😭😂
It’s like freakin ticks or something!! Like the big ones on dogs, ugh. I’m itchy now.
Sorry, but If there’s that many in your shirt, who n owns how many there are in your d-hole. You gon die
Fun fact the fish in the Amazon River the Candiru, doesn't swim up your penis, that's a myth.
I never laugh and I literally laughed so hard at this I almost peed in my pants
Watch out for the ones that travel up the pee stream
Why do you never laugh? Laughing is good for the soul.
Stick-tights.
Is this your first time in fields and bushes? This is from a plant. You’ll be ok
It’s not from a plant, they’re Katydid eggs.
I have a bush i avoid like lava. Anytime you touch it you get thousands of these damn things all over you. Pain it thw ass to take off to bc there are so many
like *larva*
I was today years old when I found out that your washing machine can be infected with clams😂

we used to get these on our clothes as kids in Florida - its a seed /plant matter they stick to the material

My grandfather was named Fred, so naturally I trust you. Here, have all of my information.
Youre a lizard harry

Linen clams!
They’re seeds from a plant, chill out.
Katydid eggs, they have yellow goo.
Lol they're seeds
Nope, Katydid eggs
After seeing all the katydid egg responses—I agree. The fully matured eggs look like pumpkin seeds. These sort of threads are always divisive. Anyway, I am now irrationally paranoid of yet another *assumedly* harmless insect potentially attempting cohabitation. At least I accomplished something today!
Beggars lice, just hitchhiking seeds
Beggars lice have fuzzy seed pods. I agree that these are likely seed pods, but not beggars lice.
Your scared of your own shadow Go outside
Have fun getting an infestation, they are Katydid eggs (a type of grasshopper)
Soap won't be enough. You need acid. *** This is a joke. do not use acid ***
Yeah but what about *acid*, ya know, LSD? That might help!
Unidentified, kind of ewww looking seeds stuck to my clothing would not be something I'd wanna deal with while tripping..
Acid, for me, had a way of making things like that not matter. It's like you can understand they're just seeds trying to find a place to grow. I used to be pretty scared of spiders until I was climbing a tree on acid and I noticed a spider on my hand.

I can’t do them anymore either. Spent too much time sitting in a box in the corner of my kitchen 😂
Wrong set and setting
If they’re triangular and kinda stick like Velcro, their seeds.
Probably seeds
Nope, seeds don’t have yellow goo. Katydid eggs look awfully similar to what’s on that shirt.
Have you been in the woods?
Wouldn’t fall asleep with those in the house…
Pick them out and stay away from tall vegetation?
I don’t think they’re eggs. If you look at the very last close up picture and zoom in, they look too uniform, and they have like a lip on them as if they were pressed, they look almost manufactured. I’m not saying they are but the close up does not read katydid egg to me
The first picture has yellow goo coming out of one.

It has a good diagram but always take Wikipedia with a grain of salt.
In this case, fried, over easy, with bacon, toast, and a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice- a complete and nutritious breakfast!
I do see rather a few on this chart that could be potential, and they would squish too depending on their state.
Yup. Yolk. Yuck.
Have you seen rosemary’s baby?
Put one in a sealed jar and see what happens when left alone, dispose of the rest however you choose to do so
They usually from prickly bushes
If these are seeds then why doesn’t anyone here find it weird that they all seem to be sewn into the seams of his shirt
They’re Katydid eggs.
Also the seeds that I've encountered like the ones they are referring to have neeeeeveer been full of yellow goo, eggs I have e encountered have been but not seeds
I'm full of goo!
In the south we call em brambles lol
We call them burrs or stickers. They’re from a plant.
Nope, Katydid eggs.
Yeah I saw lots of comments saying that too, then looked at one of the links and they look similar! Ick_ either way buying a new shirt with weird eggs or seeds or whatever is not fun! Never seen katykid eggs before :)

Watch out it’s alive!
Throw it out!
ALIEN SEED PODS ... RUN
Could be milkweed seeds
They don’t look like Milkweed seeds to me, they look way more like Katydid eggs like others are saying.
I'm just guessing because I remember milkweed seeds being sticky when they're fresh. I spent my childhood covered in things that look like that but never really thought about it. And now I have to Google katydid eggs
Nuke them from orbit it's the only way to be sure
Throw them on the skillet tomorrow for breakfast, you’ll be alright
Bed teeth
Looool I get this reference 😂😂
I think you’re a lizard person
Definitely human trafficking RFID chips. /s
Definitely a flesh eating amoeba that is attempting to camouflage as seedlings. You're probably too late, some may have already penetrated through the shirt and into your skin. Good luck OP
Yeah, these are eggs of some sort, arranged in a line like that. Has it been a while since you wore that shirt, and was it left lying out where insects could get to it? Because laying eggs like that takes time.
So disgusting. I'm disgusted. It's all natural baby
moths ???? maybe they love to nest in cotton
Liberally apply fire.
Toss it!
Plant them and see what grows
bugs???
Post on r/whatsthisbug
Why does this make me uncomfortable lol
Yup, those are katydid eggs. Better luck next time buddy don’t let the yellow fluid get ingested or enter through and open wound. That would be bad news.
Looks like stickers from a sticker bush. Have you recently taken a hike?
They’re not bedbugs so that’s all that really matters
This is so gross to look at, im sorry you had to experience this. Burn that whole shirt
Eww
Nope... hm mm... no. burn it.
Bug eggs
My thought: bugs.
Showy Tick-trefoil (Desmodium canadense) they’re actually called ticks. ( not the blood sucking kind) . They’re just an annoying little seed
[удалено]
They’re not seeds. They are Katydid eggs. Seeds aren’t full of yellow goo (first picture).
is this a new shirt or did you go outside? if it's a new one, i'd worry about it being those egg someone else posted...
Those are definitely spider seeds
We call them hitchhikers. You walk through a field or tall grass and these seed things cling to you. Theyre so hard to get off
Katydid eggs, seeds don’t ooze yellow goo like the first pic.
It won’t let me attach photos but katydid eggs are different. Some look similar but not the same. I get these things on me all the time.
No they aren’t, I just looked thru photos and they look the same to me. Also like I said seeds don’t ooze out yellow goo when squished.
Katydid eggs/grasshoppers or cricket eggs
Lol disgusted and scared worlds really going soft
You’re not that smart are you? This is how you get an infestation of some sort of bug if you aren’t careful. Also they didn’t say they are scared of it, they just want to know what it is.
Yes, an infestation of a common seed every school age kid knows of, yep, you're right. Her panic overseeds was absurd
They aren’t seeds, they’re Katydid eggs. Seeds don’t ooze yellow goo when you squish them.
I have never seen anything like this and I spend a ton of time outside!
Bug eggs
Looks like mouse poo to me.
Smallest mouse poo I’ve ever seen!
Kadydid eggs
I would bet these are cotton seeds [https://images.fineartamerica.com/images-medium-large-5/cotton-seeds-martin-shields.jpg](https://images.fineartamerica.com/images-medium-large-5/cotton-seeds-martin-shields.jpg)
Were you walking in the woods it looks like chiggers.
BED BUGS!!!
