CLOSED: New here and need help

West Hempstead, NY

I'm new here and like to stick around to learn about gardening, plants, and household stuff. On that note, recently had a baby and so I have concerns about bugs I've been seeing in my apartment. I don't know what kind of bug it is. Can anyone tell me what insect it is according to the pics? The bugs are really tiny. However, I've zoomed in on the pics so you can get a clearer view.

This is a grain beetle in the genus Oryzaephilus, either the saw-toothed or merchant grain beetle. These are cosmopolitan pests of dry stored food products, primarily those made of/containing wheat or corn (maize) - https://www.orkin.com/other/beetles/sawtooth-grain-beetle/

Thank you! I'm cleaning my apt today and looking for the source. Thank you again for your help in this.
