Bird feces or Organic Debris (potentially misidentified as an insect)

Natural Habitat

Found on surfaces where birds congregate or near household textiles and plants.

Diet & Feeding

Does not apply (inorganic/waste matter).

Behavior Patterns

Stationary. Often mistaken for insects like 'scale' or small 'carpet beetles' due to dark color and irregular shape.

Risks & Benefits

Generally harmless unless indicative of a pest presence elsewhere. If indeed organic waste, it is an ecosystem byproduct; if confused with a carpet beetle larva, it may indicate a risk to natural fibers.
