I think that's a morio beetle. Last life stage of a superworm.

Could also be a mealworm beetle. I'm not sure of scale here.

Yes. Some of my feeder insects have pretty incredible survival stories. Like the phoenix worm that didn't get eaten in pictus gecko tank, hatched to black soldier fly (ph.worms are the larva form), flew out of the tank, I caught it and released it in crested gecko tank because the cresties like the flies, it survives and escapes AGAIN, I catch it again and this time I let it go outside. That fucking soldier fly will probably lay thousands of eggs and the babies will all be immortal super flies.

It's more likely than you think, they're quite fast if they want to be and you lose track of one for a second and they'll be digging under anything they can.
I've occasionally lifted up the water dish of my bearded dragon to find some cocoons.
Paul McCartney?

Looks like a ringo beatle, they're harmless enough but pretty useless and shit to be honest

This is a superworm beetle. The sharp edges of the wings confirm this.
This one seems to have molted around 3 or more days ago. When they first molt, they have a light orange body and white wings which darken overtime until the beetle eventually turns completely black.
Also this beetle is not completely solid yet so please be careful with it. I had a beetle like this one that had wings that looked slightly crumpled. It didn't change in hue at all for a long period of time and eventually died prematurely.

>wtf kind of beatle
It's lenon bug.

Pretty unlikely, lennon bugs are very rare. In fact I haven't see a live one in decades.

Yeah, the gooks snatched them away :/
