Darkling beetle.
Family is Tenebrionidae. This could be Alobates, but I'll let an expert in that family take it from there.

Yuck
I have had lots of flying large, (xlarge) beetles outside lately. This looks like one. Except the ones I have been seeing are like 2 inches or more in length. I am in Kent County Delaware. Anyone know what the heck they are.
