Are you talking about the smaller ones in the image? They look a lot like the family Latridiidae, minute brown scavenger beetles. Here's a brief article: http://www.grainscanada.gc.ca/storage-entrepose/sip-irs/mbsb-l-eng.htm They are fungus eaters and generally don't pose a threat to collection materials, but could be an indication of humidity issues.

Any idea what they may be? They are lightly over a mm long, have 6 legs, an elongated thorax and maybe clubbed antenna. I hope the picture will help. They were the best I could do. Please ignore the other flotsam in the pictures. Thanks so much. --Leslie Leslie L. Skibinski Collection Manager of Mollusks Delaware Museum of Natural History P.O.
