It's a beetle. Or maybe a weevil. Your location might help with the exact id, someone here at Insectnet will be of more help,
I think it's a beetle-

Greetings, The image is a little blurry, but it looks to be a species of 'spider beetle' in the family Ptinidae. They're generally scavengers on organic materials, and rarely of any concern - although some can be pests in stored grains and cereals. Here's a link to a page on BugGuide: spider beetle - genus PtinusThe genus Ptinus is diverse and difficult to identify to the species level... Hope this helps! Bandrow |

I missed your location in the title of your post. My fault-
I've learned a few things from the "identify this insect" threads, there's no end to the variety.
