Size doesn't matter in this case (although the longhorned borer -- palo verde 
beetle - is much larger).  If you look at the pronotum, there are no pointed 
lateral extensions which would be on that cerambycid species, Derobrachus 
geminatus.

It seems a little early in the year for it, but, given the size, it looks like 
it could be a Palo Verde beetle. You may want to have your ground crew check in 
on the trees on your campus.

Hello Again,

First off thank you for your replies to my previous inquiry! We have yet 
another mystery beetle in a different location this time-I have attached 
pictures-according to our security team this guy was found strolling around a 
gallery that has Samurai Armor. He was found on the floor. It is difficult to 
say if he is just one of the many beetles that are becoming more active due to 
rising temperatures as we begin our summer here in Arizona. Any clues would be 
much appreciated.

Thank you!

Erika

Without seeing anything indicating scale outside of the gravel, I can only
say that it resembles some of the large ground beetles I saw while hiking
in the Cibola National Forest this weekend.  Ground beetles become fairly
active during the summer in the Southwest, so they do tend to wander in
from the outside.  I sometimes find them in my museum in New Mexico, and it
is easy to just scoop them up with a dustpan and toss them outside.  They
are predators and scavengers, so unless you have a live insect collection
they will not be a direct threat to a collection.

Thank you,
​

It looks like a nice sized carabid ground beetle.
