These bugs are found all over my office. None of us seem to know what it is.

Weevils of some kind. Seems like there's a run on weevils this year! What size are these insects and in what kind of environment are you finding them?

RE: Anyone know what this bug is?

Thanks for your reply. I find these bugs in various sizes, most of them being about 1/8 of an inch, but no bigger than that. We find them usually on the walls of our office, mainly in an area where there is an AC duct. So we think it's all falling from there. We're also noticing a lot of them near water. We tried putting a small bucket of water near an area where we find them most, and they really do seem to like the water. They also like to go into little tight places. We rarely find them by the office plants. So I really don't know what to make of it. And I don't know how to get rid of them. Their population has been growning by the day.

Check to see if you have any old bags of flour , cereal or seeds around. Maybe breeding in there?? Paul.
