What is this?! I live in Kansas City MO! I found this bug on my carpet floor and I’ve done tons of research on google images but I still can’t find out what this is! It’s small with a hard round back! Help!

I periodically find these very small (1/8th inch) fellows on the walls of my bathroom. Usally in fall/early winter. Usually just one at a time, rarely two or three. I’m thinking some kind of carpet beetle, though we don’t have carpets near the second floor where I find them.

I sent these photos to an exterminator, and he told me it’s a spider. But it looks to me like the bug has 6 legs and 2 antennae! Hoping it’s not a bedbug!
