    Hi,

    I keep on seeing this bug everywhere in the house, both in adult form and baby form.
    The adult form I see less, but the tiny baby bugs I am seeing everywhere, kitchen counter top, bathroom, shower, base board. Is this a bed bug? or just some beetle??
    Please help!!

    Hi,

    Its not quite in enough focus to be certain but if it is an insect (and yes there is some doubt that it is) then its a type of beetle.

    A better in focus picture or scan would be needed for an accurate ID.

    David, right click on the postage stamp pic and choose view image to see it full sized. Looks like a possible beetle with a bunch of psocids around it.

    Nothing for size reference in it though.

    Hi Jim,

    Yeah I always download to ID but without clearer detail beetle is all I can say as the outline could be a hairy fungus beetle or a confused flour beetle.
