    The fuzzy pictures don't help, but this is the closest I can come:

    Something called a 'larder beetle', a common household pest.

    The wings would be under the hard shell, which splits and separates to reveal them when it flies. The body is too stout for a click beetle (they are long and thin) and most carpet beetles don't have a band of color.

    it may be some sort of beetle... but anyways i have some questions and statements for YOU.

    1) Why do you need to know in the first place?

    2) Sorry but the pictures are way to blurry to identify the insect.

    3) well, thats pretty much all I have to say.

    Sorry if I did not help, but hopefully i did...

    It may be a click beetle, but better pictures are needed.
