Aaron, you got it! We had beans and rice in bulk stored at the top of our pantry cupboard and we looked and they were covered with these little bugs! Thanks for helping, Despina and Aaron!

There's many species, most of them harmless, while some not so...You can check the links bellow for more details http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthrenus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dermestidae

Did you bring any flowers from your garden inside the house? I usually bring those tiny bugs in, when I cut calla lilies for my vases...

They are tiny beetles. Check your cereals/grains. They might be attracted to something in your kitchen cabinets.
