Patty - I agree with David Piniger - it's most likely some sort of fungus beetle. If you have lots of them trapped on glueboards, there may be a current or past roof leak. I had a situation in an art museum with thousands of them. The roof leaks were "repaired", but the beetles kept coming. Hope you just had a few.
