Erodium Seed

This is the seed of Erodium cicutarium (also known as redstem filaree, common stork's bill or pinweed) which upon having contact with water will bore or drill itself into the ground in order for the seed to sprout. Watch closely as the seed will reverse itself several times. Possibly to bury itself further in to the ground.
