We moved into our newly built Fl home in Jan. Twice I have noticed what looks like a pumpkin seed in the corner of the wall. Tonight I found some on the lanai, also in the corners. They look like a somewhat fuzzy pumpkin seed. Anyone know what they are? I had originally thought it was a loose piece of sheetrock, but I guess not. Help!

Put it in a jar and watch it for a few weeks. If it is an egg case it will hatch. If it is just a lizard trud it won't.
You've recently moved to Florida, and now you've seen an INSECT! Don't get too excited -- you ain't seen nothing yet. Within a week or two you should start seeing the love bugs, whose dead bodies will eat the paint right off your car, and if you're near the water you'll be sweeping up the midges (aka "blind mosquitoes") with a snow shovel. --
