I keep finding these in and around my house and also in some of my dry food. I have no idea what it is but i do know it has a bad taste and smell almost like a stink bug. (found it in food as i chomped down on it) If anyone can identify this bug that would be so great and thank you! :)
--I took pictures from different angles, close-ups and far away pictured next to a large cup. The goo surrounding it is Cinnamon toast crunch cereal that I was eating when i chomped down on this buggy, I tried to get it clean but didn't want to smash the bug.

Hard to tell from these images - might e one of the flour beetles in the genus Tribolium; common pantry pests... http://entnemdept.ufl.edu/creatures/urban/beetles/red_flour_beetle.htm
Thank you that does make sense and that does look exactly like the bugs I have been seeing around the house. Much appreciated! :)
