A better photo showing its legs, antennae, head with mandible would help to confirm or reject my thoughts that it is the black hoplia beetle.

If you have the free Google Lens app you can point your camera at it & find out quickly. I know there are other similar apps but I only use this one. Convenient for identifying things & translates too.

If you have an iphone, you can take the photo of the insect, plant or bird - and at the bottom where that little ”i” is you click on it.

after you click on it this will pop up:

its identifying an insect and the guess is a rabid wolf spider.

This is not always correct but if you capture multiple clear images and they all say the same thing and it does look right when you click on the bold link and view the suggested insect then you may have some degree of certainty.

Also Andrea it does look like the dark flower scarabs that eat my roses in early spring. they move very slowly if at all and are easy to pick off and stomp on the ground. their hard shells are somewhat hard to squeeze. I remove them manually. they seem to go away on their own when the weather heats up.
