Find them fairly regularly in the kitchen/bathroom/on walls. In Scotland. imgur.com/IqlR5X3 imgur.com/M2DWspK

Greetings,

Your first image appears to be a species of 'spider beetle' in the family Anobiidae. They are scavengers on organic matter and can be found near their food source. Check for infested grains or stored products in a pantry or kitchen.

Cheers!
