Looks like a beetle in the family Anobiidae, but hard to say much from this image...

well if it helps ive been finding them mostly in my kitchen. seems like 5 or 6 a night now. the are super tiny but seem to be getting bigger. if i could get a better photo i would but that as close i could get within focus. like i said thats a regular plastic spoon that its sitting on so that tells you kinda how small it is.

Could it be one of those Drugstore Beetles, which is in the Anobiidae family. I know there's not a lot of detail in the photo, but the fact several are in the home... ??

I would start going through the foods you have in the kitchen and see if there is an infestation in any of them and then seal the non-infested foods in sealed containers, or place in the freezer.

I found some info on this page:
