Hi all, I have suddenly started to find several black beetle like insects in my bedroom every night before bed. They have a hard shell and fly and i've never noticed them before in the 18 months i've lived here. Can anyone help identify them from the rather poor photo attached? I will try to get a better image next time i see one. I'm curious as to whether they are coming from outside or could potentially be a house pest? The first night i noticed them there were around 4-5 in the one room. After this i spot 1-2 per night. Thanks

Well it is clearly a Bostrichid beetle, but I don't know the European beetles. Something maybe like Micropate see bugguide.net/node/view/242172I think these are relatively harmless, won't bite and they bore into wood, but I think they are not destructive. Rick
