Flea. They can be big.

A flee or a nit

It's not a flea, it's a beetle of some sort. It has antennae - fleas don't have antennae. It's not a bed bug either.

Some kind of weevil.
Biscuit or some such.
We were getting these for ages- they were in a wheat heat bag thing that was in the cupboard.
Check around for something they could be living in

Definitely not a flea, wrong shape.
Possibly booklice but hard to tell from that photo if it's the right colour

A weevil. It won't do anyone any harm.

dementedpixie · 06/12/2022 21:12

Looks like a type of beetle

If it's small it is probably a grain weevil.
They live in seeds (bird seed, treats) dry pet food, dried beans and pulses...
Sometimes they are very small.
Weevils have pointy 'noses', some types live in plants and the grubs eat the roots. Harmless, apart from to the roots of the plants.
