Check out http://bugguide.net/node/view/6448/bgimage and browse the pages (or at least pages 1-4-9 to see different types) to see if it is one of those guys. They are dermestid beetles aka carpet beetles, quite common in homes and can be real pests. They eat anything and everything; food crumbs, skin flakes, hair, etc. There are quite a few species and appearance changes from one to the other but they are all small, fairly rounded, and the dominant colors tend to be black/ yellow/ cream .

souds like one of two beetles
1) Sexton beetle

Sexton beetles lay their eggs in rotten or dead animalsand bury them hence sexton. Tiger beetles eat smaller insects than themselves and are a gardeners friend.
