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.

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!

Does this species typically have lighter brown circles on their elytra when looking up close? Any ID guidance is appreciated!
