Yes, that's it.

Definitely not mites. Beetles prey on other bugs!

Okay. Here is some advice for you. I suspected that was your problem since I've just recently had a long battle against these beetles. It took many months for me to get rid of them.

If you have any cayenne pepper, chili spice or parsley in your house, it's probably infested. My beetle infestation came in a sealed package of cayenne pepper. They will be very difficult to get rid of. Keep on top of it. Check EVERY spice you use in your kitchen. Check things like rice, cereal, etc. Seal every container of non-infested spice so they cannot get to it. Wash the cupboard/spice rack. Don't throw away the packages you find them in, they must be killed or they will just come back. I poured boiling water into infested spice containers.

Get the mini sticky traps like these and put a tiny bit of cayenne pepper or parsley in the center to attract them.
