I’ve been finding these tiny bugs in my kitchen and front hall crawling on the floor tiles and along the baseboards. I’ve checked my kitchen pantry and drawers and did not find anything. Also attaching a pic of another larger bug I found in my upstairs washroom.

Expert Response
They are various beetles. The first two are a bit out of focus so I can not ID them. The third one is also a beetle which normally lives outside and probably was attracted to light and just flew in. I would need it in hand to ID it further. All three could have come in from outside. It is spring and a lot of beetles are coming out of hibernation. On cool nights, they are attracted to heat sources and will crawl in under doors or cracks in window.
Thank you Ed! Can the first two come from food or packages brought into the home?
They seem to be the right size but I need a better picture to say for sure.
