What is this bug's name?

I keep finding him in my bathroom or bedroom and he's only about 3mm big. Our house is old and damp (cob walls) so presume he likes living here and I keep finding lots of his cousins around the window sills and on the floors.

Who is he?

He looks like a Joe to me.

I can’t bring myself to name a cockroach! Now there’s a sentence I never thought I’d say...!

It looks like the beetles that we are finding in our house - they've been identified on the local FB group as pollen beetles.

No, that’s Nigel.

Nah! That's Bob.

Cedric the Cockroach??

He's teeny tiny so definitely not a cockroach.

I was thinking his name might be Bob too.

Pollen beetles...that sounds like a friendly insect who isn't going to crawl into my ears whilst I'm asleep!! Will give that a google, thank you.

Thought it was a cockroach too. It could be a young one?

Finally found his name! He's a plaster beetle!

Pete. His name is Pete Plaster Beetle.

He’s tiny!

You must have good eyesight OP! He’s a totie wee thing!

To be fair I only really spot Pete when he moves as he moves very quickly so he catches my eye and we have white walls all over the house which help too.

Thought I saw him again tonight on the bathroom wall but I think it was one of his many cousins as it seemed a smooch smaller.
