Aaron, you got it! We had beans and rice in bulk stored at the top of our pantry cupboard and we looked and they were covered with these little bugs! Thanks for helping, Despina and Aaron!

Did you bring any flowers from your garden inside the house? I usually bring those tiny bugs in, when I cut calla lilies for my vases...

They are tiny beetles. Check your cereals/grains. They might be attracted to something in your kitchen cabinets.
