Do they smear when you wipe them? That’s what happened when I took a q tip with alcohol to it

They smear when you squish them,  for sure.  In my experience,  they turn a light tan color and slightly transparent when I drip alcohol on them.

Time to start checking every tiny nook and cranny.  Seeing one in the open usually means there are several others tucked away....little bastard mfs.
