I have these in my room and I don't know what they are. Can you identify this beetle?
BTW: the ruler is in centimeters

Thanks

I cannot see enough detail in these images to be confident of an i.d. - however, as the shape of its antennae is similar to that of beetles in the carpet beetle family, be on the lookout for signs of damage to/infestation of organic fabrics or dry stored food products...

That looks like the larva of a carpet beetle in the genus Attagenus (black carpet beetle and relatives).
