Those are weevils, which is a type of beetle (order Coleoptera, family Curculionidae). I can't tell you what species they are, but they are not one of the weevils that is known to infest food, stored grains, etc. in our homes in Michigan. There are several species of weevils in Michigan that live outdoors, but sometimes invade our homes when the weather outdoors is not to their liking. The best thing to do is probably just to vacuum them up and/or hand remove them and put them back outdoors. They don't bite or sting.
