Hi, my sister keeps finding these tiny beetles in her house. We live in Scotland. We’ve searched online to try and identify them but can’t find anything the same. They are tiny, just a few mm long ibb.co/6b5MYL8ibb.co/fSDMcbW

Greetings, I believe your beetles are a species of 'spider beetle' in the family Anobiidae, subfamily Ptininae. The image isn't quite clear enough to be 100% sure, but the form of the head and the positioning of the antennal insertions lead me this way. Here are some links to investigate the group further: Common European species of the genus Ptinus
Link to Ptininae on BugGuide.net
Cheers! Bandrow
