They are tiny, black and rounded and I normally find them on my laminate around my seagrass baskets. We have been getting a lot of condensation lately and i noticed a dark patch in the corner of my bedroom I've just examed the wall to see if it felt damp it doesn't just cold and I've noticed the black bugs on the ceiling n the corner help!!!! It's like the they like cold and my sea baskets .

Not really sure...could it be some kind of aphid? I'm sure some MN's will be over soon to give you better advice

Could be biscuit beetles. We had them. They were living inside some dried chilli peppers I had taken back from Spain and hung in the kitchen.

They could be living inside the basket. Put it in a plastic bag and into your freezer for a day then give it a good walloping outside.

Ours disappeared when I threw the chillis out.
