Great picture and welcome to fluther.

Could it be a drugstore beetle (another link)

Also found this beetle identifier although several of the links are dead, it helped narrow things down.

Possibly carpet beetles.

It really does look like a drugstore beetle, but seems to be much larger than regular drugstore beetles. I would contact my local conservation dept for more answers.

Um. That looks like a cockroach.

Definitely not a cockroach.

Nope. It’s not a cockroach. It’s definitely a beetle.
