Sesame Seed (misidentified as a bug)

Agricultural fields in tropical/subtropical regions; commonly found in kitchens, pantries, and atop baked goods.

Non-living plant matter; does not consume food as it is a seed.

Inert and stationary; does not move on its own. It is the ripened seed of the sesame plant, often shed from food items like buns or crackers.

Generally safe and edible for humans, though it is a known allergen for some individuals. It poses no pest risk to homes but can be easily mistaken for insect eggs or larvae due to its shape and color.
