on the thread of fruit flies, what about those beetles

[LordOfTheFlies]

those black shiney ones about 1cm long
They fly
They get into the lampshade and make a horrible noise
one got into my teeshirt and it bit me. (I haven't mutated into a human/beetle hybrid )
I'm sure they come in on the washing and crawl in through the tiniest spaces in the floorboards/skirting boards.
Hate them

Ours come down the chimney and get bigger than 1cm ones here! YUK!
