EXTERNAL SENDER Thank you for the replies, everyone! I've looked into all suggestions and it seems closest to the click beetle. I will investigate it's introduction!

We see them occasionally wander in from outside at exterior doorways – they are attracted to the lights at night. I would check if there are any nearby entry points that you can seal up!

We found this beetle while doing a routine herbarium IPM check. Typically we see cigarette and carpet beetles, this time around a much larger beetle was found. It looks suspiciously similar to a cigarette beetle, although a much longer body ~9-10mm in length. I presume it's a common beetle (southern CA), just not one we have seen in our collection recently. After closer inspection I wonder if it's a furniture beetle? Unfortunately, there were no (from what I can tell) antenne present when the beetle was found. Photo evidence attached!
