Identifying Small Brown Bugs?

Identifying Small Brown BugsI have recently (3-4 months) started seeing these little brown bugs on my boat. I live aboard with my dog. I don't believe they are bed bugs, due to the fact that I find them both inside and outside my boat. I don't find them in my bed, and I primarily see them on the wood throughout boat, or near it at least. I have also seen them around my dog's feces when I went to clean it up. At most I will see 3 or 4 in the same area. I have not found a large population of them together.

The babies are extremely tiny, appear to be white/clear, and they're the size of the tip of a sewing needle. The adults appear lite brown, they move very fast. They don't appear to jump or fly.

I reached out to my local University with no response. I have these pictures along with some video and I have captured a few of my unwanted tenants for viewing.

I know they are not bedbugs. I would spray with an all-purpose insecticide.

This isn't a bed bug and looks more like a marine bug that lives in hulls of the boat. I would get someone in the marina to come and check this out.

There are some bugs like this that eat the wood on the boats and you may need to get them treated in order to save your boat.
