Photos: photos.app.goo.gl/BTEEdJupSNeKBswv6Background Info: Climate is Northern California. Indoors. The bugs first appeared a few years ago, and tunneled holes into our tatami mat bed. We discovered that they layed larva which later turn into the bugs you see in the album. The bugs don't appear to bite us. We got rid of the bed, but they seem to have stayed in the home. We do have several indoor plants, and I have a suspicious that perhaps they like one of the plants or maybe the soil. While we had the tatami mats, I thought they might be "dani". Tatami mat mites. But now that the mats are gone, I feel that their food source has been removed. The mats have been gone for 6 months or so. These bugs do have wings and can fly. They are fairly easy to catch by hand.

they look and sound like beetles. Apparently now I have to look up "tatami"

I think you're probably right. I didn't use the wikipedia link...every time I use wikipedia, they ask me for more donations. Looking in your cereals, and flour products might be a good idea.
