Any rotting wood around the area? What season is it where you are and what temperature is it outside?

Then those are flea beetles. They're a pain in the ass if you've got seedlings. You can use insecticidal soap, or what I did (they were all over my Cucurbits this summer) was coated the plants in Surround WP. It smothers them and prevents them from feeding.

Look up flea beetle IPM.

Looks like a carpet beetle to me, they're common around here and I'm in the city bro! They've been on my plants before and never seemed to cause any harm, matter of fact I think they were eating the mites I had because a buncha cuts in my attic quarro room that didn't get treated with Mighty Wash never got infested and a week or so later when I finally got some MW I could barely find any mites just the beetles and they disappeared after I moved the plants out.

I thought carpet beetles too wen i saw em.horrible little fucks but theres no reason carpet beetles would attack plants.

Do carpet beetles jump like fleas? Flea beetles do, and they are a plant pest. It looks like carpet beetles are worst in museums.
