    Can anyone identify this guy? I've found a couple in the last few week and have no idea what they are. Thanks.

    It was found in a cupboard under the stairs where I keep cleaning products. It was walking on duster. I've found them in this location before always just one. It's about the size of a grain of rice.

    Ahh, I thought those were fish scales it was photographer on!! It looks like woodworm to me, but I am no expert, hopefully someone else will confirm. Look for flight holes in any nearby wood.
