Answer
LHNY13,

This is one of the carpet beetle species, possibly the black carpet beetle. See http://www.livingwithbugs.com/carpet_beetle.html for info about a closely related species. These beetles are often associated with stored food such as cereals or dry pet food. Spilled food can also be a source of the infestation.
