family Cerambycidae. Should be easy to get a species from a cerambycid
group online (eg via bugguide) - if a species ID is needed.
These beetles are typically wood borers as larvae. I've not heard of them
ever breeding indoors but sometimes wood with their live larvae is brought
indoors and the
Pretty sure this is a rove beetle (Family Staphylinidae). Most are
predators.

The adult beetle is a broad nose weevil (not an indoor pest, an herbivore
from outside).
The larva is a dermestid (Family Dermestidae, common indoor pests).

Anna,
I would only be concerned if you catch more than one in a few month period.
It is most likely a stray from outdoors that accidentally got inside.
It's a predator and if you have a population of predators surviving &
breeding inside that means there's enough prey inside to keep them alive -
Yes, most are springtails but it also looks like you have a Dorypteryx in
the upper left. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorypteryx
Can't tell if you should be concerned since I don't know what your
situation is. These critters are generally harmless but obviously are
feeding on something.

002 is in the family Latridiidae, subfamily Latridiinae.
0022 is in the family Latridiidae, genus Corticaria.
I can't see the others well enough to tell but they are also likely in this
family.

It is hard to tell from the low res photo but it looks like a Cryptophagid.

All,
Sorry for cross postings. I'm preparing a report on the arthropod
biodiversity that has been found alive inside our museum and am curious if
any of you know of any publications that focus on this topic inside one or
more museums.
I'm specifically interested in publications that include data
Insects often lay eggs if they are about to die - as a last ditch effort to
propagate. I suspect getting trapped caused the beetle to lay.
