American spider beetle
by: Moni

Great photos!! Great description!!They really help to get a good ID.

As you thought it looked like a spider, you were on the right track. It is a beetle that looks like a spider.
This beetle is like larder beetles and pantry moths, being a pest in homes eating grains, leather, and all kinds of pantry crumbs.
Not sure why they are in just your daughters bed unless she is eating crackers under the covers! :-) Perhaps she and her dolls are having a tea party at night! :-)
Rather than writing all the info here please see the following website. It has great info for this beetle.
