The picture is so small but it appears to be a type of beetle. It looks like I can see the electra. This is a long shot (based on the small fuzzy picture) but it may be a stored grain beetle. Can you see if the beetles are coming from a stored grain or flour? Just a guess... Thanks for sharing.

Hi sorry about the size of picture ive no idea how to get it bigger lol There is no stored products there. Its in a flat on the 15th floor. Infact theres 100's of them currently. They also fly but not very far.

Wow! That's wild. Do they look like beetles to you?

Well I thought they were cockroaches so ive no idea. They are only small and are everywhere. Mainly see them at night. In food cupboards, on walls and the floor of living room , in the bedroom and the wardrobe. Never seen one in the bathroom yet or hall cupboards

they really do look like mealworm beetles to me.

Ya, they look like beetles to me. I bet if you find what they are eating you will also find where they are pupating. Good luck!

It looks like a carpet or cigarette beetle... a better picture would be more helpful...
