Black and red beetles
Ok, I know it's a long shot, but here it goes. Every summre I get these tiny black hard shelled bugs and they have a red stripe, amlost like the wiggle in Charlie Brown's shirt going across the back of it. They love to be in my daughter E's room, so I am assuming they like her left over treats. I only find dead ones, so does this mean they are living IN something and coming out to die? I have googled red and black bugs but came up with nothing besides itchy.

I have ruled out the maple bug as well.

Yeah, we long-time members know where we can find you :),
But am thinking some of the newer members who are into insects
Would like to know. I wonder if DeepMysteries would have some input.
He seems to be fascinated by flying things.
Do they look anything like this?

Uggg that sent deep shivers down my spine J! Yes very similar to that, but I think they only have one stripe. But the body is dead on.
Wondergirl, I think the one you posted was a maple bug. When I lived in the western provinces you couldn't even walk out your front door with out being covered in them!

It's a Box Elder bug that goes into homes for the winter. Here's the article, sort of seems to fit your situation --

I'm sure I can locate one tonight when I get home from work, I'll try and get a snap of one. I'm not sure if that's it. I most certainly hope it's not the one J posted lol, that thing is OOGLY! Plus it had all these mites on it. When I read about the one J posted, most people were saying how it "plays dead", I wonder if that's why all the ones I find are "dead"?

Can you make the picture BIGGER, J? Some of us only have 25" screens. Bella, what J posted is a HUMONGOUS picture of a carrion beetle. If that's what you've got, move the compost pile further away.

My Verizon phone has me save the pics from the phone to my online account. Then I can post from the web or save to the computer and post from there.

Bella, I can barely figure out how to answer a cell phone, much less send pictures from it. Sorry. :(

OK here it is. I did notice when I got closer it pulled its legs in - like playing dead.
