Question
Bug 2013
Bug 2013  
Hello, I saw this insect in my sink this morning, It is very tiny, but i noticed the legs and took a pic not knowing what it was. Can you please help? dont think its a bed bug, or roach?

Answer
Shade,

This is called a spider beetle, see http://livingwithbugs.blogspot.com/2012/11/tiny-shiny-reddish-brown-beetles-spid for a close-up and info. They are harmless but occasionally infest stored food. More common in older buildings.
