Gross alert!

Just playing in my DD's bedroom and noticed this much all along the skirting board - must have appeared over the last week or two.

They are definitely dead bugs. On first inspection I thought possibly flea dirt but they don't leave the trademark rust marks when when, and on zooming in they seem to be uniform shape - and with legs!!

Any ideas??

Cat does like to sleep in her room and she has a hamster too but it's cleaned regularly.

Help!!

They look like weevils. Check the hamster food bag for them as they like to live in dried food containers.

Ooooh I love Mumsnet!!! They look exactly like that! And I just bought a new pack of hamster food, and yes a Google image search suggests weevils!

Sorry posted too soon a thanks @GizmosEveningBath!

Why would they have congregated all along one skirting board??
