Recently there have been some mysterious bugs in my room. 3 have been found on the bed (on different days); one dead at night; the other two in the daytime.
The others were in two different window sills floating dead in glasses of water.
The bugs are so small and one appears to have a brown back with what look like dots on the back?
Sort of like a lady bug, but obviously not a lady bug.
The others look to be a dark brown/black and I can't see any antennae, but that could be due to the fact I smashed these when I saw them. Legs are hard to see, too due to the small size of these bugs.
From what I've seen on the net, these don't really look like bbs, but I could be wrong???
Do bbs ever look dark or spotted?
From what I could tell only one had the dot-like appearance.
PLEASE HELP!
What could these bugs on my bed be?
They are not fleas.
Thanks.

Also, are bbs ever dark in color (brown/black) and very small?
The one was a brown with what looked like spots on it. All the same size.

Pictures are not that great for a 100% positive ID. Look up pictures on the net of Warehouse Beetles, that could be what I make of them.

Here's a pic of them floating in the glass. Do bbs ever appear that dark in color? Are warehouse beetles bigger or smaller than bbs??

I confirm KQ identification... Dermestid beetles, probably Trogoderma sp.

Get pictures. Around a window could be anything. Psocids or jumping spiders are real common there.
