No, not sure, but you could trying spraying the areas with a fly spray, then leave the room for a while so you don't breathe in the fumes. If they are ladybirds, just open the windows and let them go. I love ladybirds ..
if they are a matt dusty brown colour they are probably woodworm.We discovered our infestation in the bathroom.They had migrated from the loft

Not sure what they are yet, I have looked at your suggestions and can't work them out yet. The woodworm theory doesn't add up coz my daughter is having same problem and she lives 30 miles away from me.
Are they carpet beetles?

Pain in the butt to get rid of!

My guess would be woodworm as well. They are not confined to just one locality so it wouldn't matter if your daughrer was 30 miles away or 300 miles away, she could still have an infestation.

I've had a look at both the links thanks and both look nothing like mine, thanks for your help tho.
Might be pollen beetles ttracted by the perfumes in soaps etc, We get them on our bathroom windowsill quite a lot until the sweet peas start flowering then they seem to go to them instead
