Does any body know what this bug is? I am finding it in my kitchen.
Any help would be great.
Thank you.

It looks like a larder beetle:

The link has a lot of good info. They tend to come home with you from the grocery story or pet food store so if you confirm that is what you have, tell the store where you got them and ask for a refund.
Post back with what you decide!
Grain beetle. Store everything in airtight containers.
Looks like a silverfish bug!
It is very difficult to identify a bug but even more so when it is dead (body and legs change after death) and you can only see the 'belly - underside" as usually you see bugs still alive and top-side.
If the bugs are in your kitchen then most likely they are some sort of food beetle and you will have to clean out your food storage area and try to locate there 'home'. If you look at every bag and box you will probably find them when you place the package on the counter as there may be quite a few in one box.
Clean shelves with vinegar and water and be sure to keep any kind of packaged food in sealable containers or freezer type zip lock bags.
