The pics do not allow for anything more than a guess. My guess is a larder beetle.

I lived in a house that had a bunch of Elm trees. I was inundated with little beetles. Same size as a Lady Bug but dark and spotted. I found those fuckers everywhere in the house. Turns out, they were causing the Dutch Elm disease that wiped out thousands of trees here.
You're pictures are terrible, post new ones. |

Do they look like these? http://www.fishpondinfo.com/photos/insects/roaches/roaches3.jpg Baby cockroaches... They look like dubia roaches. Commonly kept to feed reptiles and are harmless. But won't live without fruits to eat. |

We're gonna need a bigger photo. If they're only in one room there's gotta be a reason. Any guesses, OP? Once I got rid of the tube sock (with the red and blue stripes) that was stashed under and in between the mattress / boxspring they went away. |
