I found these in an airtight storage container where we keep our almonds. What is it? It looks like a mix between a baby roach, an ant and a weevil. They were also in a cereal that container almonds. Anyone?

Looks like one of the grain beetles in the genus Oryzaephilus, either a saw-toothed (O. surinamensis) or merchant (O. mercator) grain beetle -
