what are the small brown hard shell bugs found in the kitchen?
Answers:
well, it all depends, is it all brown? about how big are they, there are a lot of brown bugs, what part of the country do they live in? When I lived in Alaska and New York, I had something called a lard beetle, it was about 1/2 inch long mostly brown but it had a light brown band along its upper back. These bugs are common, they like things like animal food and such, if this sounds like the one let me know I will help you the best I can.
Now if they run real fast when u turn on the lights they may be roaches, roachs are a night time bug, they love damp areas, check under your washer, that would be an ideal spot for them, look up roaches on the internet. they will have pics. I think you can look up any bug and they will have pics
good luck,

weevils they get in your flour cereal etc.
Cockaroaches !!
I think they are Weevils. I had some too. They like cereal, flour,pastas, instant potatoes. they like cool dry places. They can however be a nuisance. At a glance they can look like a bread crumb? You would probably need to get rid of them quickly because they will get in all of your food. And I'm sure that will be costly. They are not poisonous. They are annoying.
