Used as a reference for people in a massive cathedral(or maybe a model of a cathedral with tiny model people?)
壮大なこの大聖堂を見上げる芥子粒ほどの人間が、その建物のミニチュアの模型を目の前にして傑需の国に迷い
This would be a "like ants" example, I suppose.
Marginally more common as a reference for "small thing" than 粟粒

芥子粒のよう 848 39.2%
粟粒ほど 157 7.2%

For sense [1], since this is not terribly common by comparison, and pretty weak on cooking results, xref to the Japanese common equivalent(and not ポピーシード).
Added [sK] to 罌粟粒. For whatever reason 罌粟 is not commonly used for the seeds (this or 罌粟の実).
Copied "something extremely tiny" from the entry on 粟粒. I see no evidence that this should behave generically as an adj-f. There is one single character in a story "芥子粒夫人", otherwise it's 芥子粒のよう, 芥子粒ほど etc.
We seem to be treating this as an [exp] and tossing out equivalent English idioms for "small things". But "like a pin's head" and "pinhead-like" only work once ほど or のよう are added.
"small as ants" is likewise 芥子粒のように小さい. "芥子粒" by itself is insufficient.
芥子粒のような小さな 41
芥子粒のように小さく 33
芥子粒のように小さい 32
芥子粒のように小さな 22
This isn't adj-no either. Basically the only thing to follow の is よう:
芥子粒の 1092
芥子粒のよう 848
I think 粟粒 handled this better. As an [exp], the actual equivalent seems like it should just be "(an) ant(s)", "the head of a pin".
Could maybe fix this with a [note] and a change from [n] to [exp].
