This tripod base-like piece keeps popping across my screen as I scan and walk. Does not happen if I stand still. ![20180906132042_1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/etarc/original/3X/9/b/9b4c3676eb1c1aee2b2218fbe87f84b8ab641674.jpeg) ![20180906134010_1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/etarc/original/3X/4/d/4d6660bd0ba38e9e5bc44cf1fad44d265364d23d.jpeg) ---

They are caltrops > **[Caltrop](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caltrop)** > > A caltrop (also known as caltrap, galtrop, cheval trap, galthrap, galtrap, calthrop, jackrock or crow's foot) is an area denial weapon made up of two or more sharp nails or spines arranged in such a manner that one of them always points upward from a stable base (for example, a tetrahedron). Historically, caltrops were part of defences that served to slow the advance of troops, especially horses, chariots, and war elephants, and were particularly effective against the soft feet of camels The mode... They are specifically placed to trip people who scan while they are walking, and who are therefore not paying attention to where they put their feet. ---
