Hi, can you please help me identify that bug? I found two of those in a week in my apartement in Montreal. At first I thought it was a bed bug, but I don't thing so. Its about 4-5mm long

Thanks

Dan

This is a spider beetle (Coleoptera: Anobiidae; subfamily Ptininae); specifically, it ia an American spider beetle, Mezium americanum - see http://www.ento.psu.edu/imagegallery/Images/Amer_SpiderBeetle01lat.jpg. These beetles will feed on just about anything organic, and can become pantry pests.
