I keep finding these tiny bugs in my bedroom, 4 of them today. I thought they were baby ladybirds, but took a photo 10x magnification and now I am not sure. Does anyone know what they are?

Definitely a carpet beetle.

Yep. Carpet beetle. They can be solid black, or a variety of strips/spots etc. The warm wet weather brings them out, they are looking for mates. Just scoop them up and chuck them out. If you have sheepskin rugs, they love those...... give it a good hoover.
