Strange things on my pepper...

Was checking out my pepper (nigrum) today & I noticed it still had these strange shiny things on it.

had the same stuff when I recieved it & I assumed the shiny things were sand grains which had stuck to the plant (shaken out of the soil) during shipping.

Uppon closer inspection today, it's not sand, but some sort of droplets.

Does pepper do this or is it evidence of some insect infestation?

Here's the pix:

Looks like sand right?

It's not sand:

The fluid is a bit viscous & sticky but I didn't taste it so I dunno if it's sugary.. But the local sugar ants (who rush in the house at the slightest spill...) have left it alone, so..
