Darkling Beetles

[a.ojala]

I found 30+ when I went out bugging yesterday. I'd say there ranging from .75" the smallest one through 2" the largest one. Right now I have them feeding on dry dog food, and there mateing 24/7. Oh by the way these are the largest darkling beetles I have Ever seen.

possible ID

C. californica

There's only 3 identified photos on bugguide, so I believe this specie to be pretty rare
