Actually all the cars in my yard. I first thought it was the wind blowing it from a construction site. A google search says it is probably Yellow Jackets. Supposedly they take their clay or sand from their nest and go airborne with it.
I haven't seen any yellow jackets flying around though. I do have about 25 cicada killer wasp nests in my yard. They same article said they don't go airborne with their waste.
I've go one car in the back yard an three in the front drive. They all have these little clods of white clay/mica all over them. If I wash it off, it's back the next day.
Tiny little clods less than 3/16" in diameter and some loose white clay as well. I do know that the clay under my grass has a lot of this white clay/kaolin in it.
Hard to believe it's all coming from yellow jackets. They do mine kaolin all around Augusta but not real close. I haven't checked with any neighbors yet to see if they are experiencing this.
Strange!
