Beetles are the types of things you also find around rotting wood,

No you don't. There are very few UK beetle species that will be
attracted by rotting wood (meaning indoor construction timber, not
treestumps). It'll attract woodlice like a magnet, but not beetles

You are sure they are not June bugs?
They fly around the Westcountry at this time of year and have hard wing
casings which crunch alarmingly when you step on them. More alarming for
them I guess. Don't do a lot of harm I think unless you eat too many.
