Not quite sure of that beetle. Some beetles that look this way are:
Some polypore fungus beetles (Tetratomidae)
Some darkling beetles (Tenebrionidae)
Some comb-clawed beetles (Tenebrionidae: Alleculinae)
probably some others as well.

Thank you, Lou!

I have attached additional photos of the beetle with the longer antennae. The 
wasp nest dermestid was found on the same sticky monitor. Let me know what you 
think!

Best,
Katey

Most of the pictures except one (longer antennae) look like Reesa vespulae, a 
dermestid beetle known as the wasp nest dermestid. It's parthenogenetic (no 
males).

Hi All,

I believe this is a drugstore beetle, but I am uncertain. Does this species 
typically have lighter brown circles on their elytra when looking up close?

Any ID guidance is appreciated!

Best,
Katey
