What is this bug?

Cypress, TX

Been seeing them flying around my house a lot lately for the past few months. They tend to crawl on the walls and counter tops or just fly around in the air so basically their everywhere. Weirdly enough their pretty resilient. One stayed flipped over on its back for a few days so i thought it was dead, went to pick it up and it started crawling again! boy was i freaked out lol.

Sorry if the pics are bad, I'm still using my phone from the dark ages but if anyone has any ideas i greatly appreciate it :)

A clearer image would indeed be helpful, as about all that I can tell here is that they seem to be tiny beetles. You might try examining all dry food products (including dry pet food and spices) stored in your pantry or other areas for signs of insect infestation in case that these might turn out to be pests such as the cigarette and drugstore beetles - see http://entnemdept.ufl.edu/creatures/urban/stored/drugstore_beetle.htm
