I have an uncle that's, I think, 82. His father worked in the citrus business packing plants, etc.... When he was a kid and out of school during the summer, I think he said at the age of 6, his father would take him to work and put him to work doing small jobs for pennies. He ended up working in the fruit business pretty much all of his life and all over the country (FL, Cali and other places as well) and retired from it. I sent him the pics of this thing and this is what I got back, "he has never seen anything like it in citrus or on any of the packing sheds he worked in CA...inspecting grapes, corn, tomato’s, peaches, nectarines, tomatoes, garlic & plums."
So, I think it's pretty unlikely to be directly related to the fruit business.
