The second photo might be a kind of Minute Brown Scavenger Beetle.
The subfamily Latridiinae: http://bugguide.net/node/view/253122
Perhaps of the genus Cortinicara:http://bugguide.net/node/view/229163

This also has good 
information:http://museumpests.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Minute-Brown-Scavenger-Beetle.pdf

Subject: [pestlist] identification help please


Can anyone help me to identify these small insects? They are about 2mm long and 
were found near wooden objects.

Many thanks!
