This appears to be the drugstore beetle (Stegobium paniceum) – a typical pantry and museum pest which will feed on items such as milled products, drugs and animal products, like wool, hair, leather and horn.

It’s red-brown in color and about 1 cm long. Is this a museum bug, or just a seasonal bug? Thank you for your time and input!
