Hi, can anyone please let me know what this bug may be? We've had infestations of several different bugs previously in this flat so we are worried it might be something unpleasant!
Thank you!
House bug
I went and bought a magnifying glass to see the bug more clearly here are the images!
The images are not clear enough to be certain, but these might be cigarette or biscuit beetles - just in case, you might want to check dry food items stored in your pantry for signs of infestation.

Thanks, I'll have a look to see if there's anything open. I don't think there's open food but it also mentions book spines which is a possibility.
Our previous infestations were: cockroaches when we moved in, then shortly after bed bugs. I was really worried it was a bed bug but fortunately it didn't look flat enough!
My daughter was recently around a relative's dog, so could it also be possible that it's a flea? If so, I presume it's nothing to worry about as it will probably be a dog flea not a human flea and hopefully just the one no more to breed.
Definitely not a flea...
